Sausalito, California…The Most Charming Seaside Community You’ll Ever Visit!

The Perfect Day Trip From San Francisco

If you’ve been following along with my blog posts or on my social media, you’ve seen some of the adventures I’ve had in California at Napa Valley and Alcatraz; now I’m going to talk about Sausalito!

During my stay in San Francisco, my husband and I decided to take a day trip to Sausalito and it was indeed the highlight of our Cali vacation! Sausalito is just a hop & a skip from San Francisco and it is the most charming seaside community I’ve ever visited! The town is full of beautiful shops, cafes, restaurants, and great waterfront walks.

Getting to Sausalito

The lovely beach town of Sausalito is right in San Francisco’s backyard. We simply headed across the Golden Gate Bridge and boom, you’re right in the quaint small town of Sausalito! Be prepared to fall in love instantly…homes nestled into the hillside, the sounds of sea birds chirping in the air, the salty breeze blowing in, so amazing!

Starting Our Day in Sausalito!

We started our day trip from San Francisco to Sausalito with the most delicious breakfast at Kitchen Sunnyside. Kitchen Sunnyside is a small restaurant located in Mill Valley, CA which is just a short 15 minutes from Sausalito. My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast spread, with chicken & waffles for him, a turkey sausage hash for me, and berry french toast for us to share. The drinks were great too, I had a classic latte and Sidney had a chai tea latte. Be sure to check my IG for a fun reel featuring the excellent breakfast from Kitchen Sunnyside!

After breakfast, we drove straight into Sausalito and were just blown away by the beauty of this bayside town! I had fun taking silly photos that show the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance, and I was fortunate enough to glimpse a sea lion swimming by in the bay!

An Afternoon in Sausalito

We spent most of the morning and early afternoon in Sausalito strolling the waterfronts, walking the marina, and visiting many of the local shops. I enjoyed selecting souvenirs from the one-of-a-kind shops that line the streets of the village.

For lunch we decided on Copita Tequileria y Comida, a modern Mexican restaurant with an incredible selection of Tequila. The tacos my husband and I shared were good but the Margaritas were the clear winners for me! If you know me you know I LOVE a good Margarita and I’d go so far to say that the Copita Margarita made with Herradura Slive Tequila, lime, agave nectar and a salted rim, is the BEST Margarita I’ve ever had, seriously. When in Sausalito, I highly recommend stopping by Copita’s for lunch or dinner. We enjoyed our meal inside, but they have a fabulous patio that right on the main drag of Sausalito.

A Sweet Ending to a Sweet Day!

A double scoop of ice cream from the Hawaiian chain, Lappert’s, was just the perfect way to end our day in Sausalito! Lappert’s Ice Cream is know for their tropical flavors and their Macadamia Nut ice cream sure did not disappoint! Taking in the scenic views of Sausalito with a delicious ice cream cone in my hand is definitely a memory I won’t soon forget.

Thanks!
