Shoreline Park

Small, but beautiful park adjacent to downtown Tiburon. Only a block-​long strip of grass and sidewalk path, if placed anywhere else it would not elicit much excitement. But plop it down in Tiburon facing the San Francisco Bay and you’ve got something!
I like that there’s an ample supply of park benches along the sidewalk path but look over the Bay toward the Golden Gate Bridge and Angel Island. We enjoyed a park bench lunch with gorgeous views — the best things in life truly *are* free!
We sauntered along the path and ended up downtown, having fun browsing around. The Organic Ice Stream shop is worth a visit, definitely.
If coming by ferry, just take the sidewalk path to the right when getting off the ferry. We came by car, and passing downtown, just before you head up into the hills, the Railroad and Ferry Museum is the last structure on the right. We parked in the free one-​hour parking behind the museum, which is open to all.
Great place to hang out — and contemplate how lucky one is to be there!

Beautiful views, well tailored lawns, perfect for picnicking, relaxing and watching the bay including Angel Island, Sausalito, Belvidere, and Tiburon. Check out the train depot when it’s open. It has a beautiful bottle of the Tiburon report from probably 100 years ago. The nice volunteers there will let children conduct the model train. Make sure you take a walk up the hill to Lyfords Tower. The tower is part of an old stone building that was built around the turn of the last century.
The shoreline parkways the perfect place to chill out before or after your ferry ride to San Francisco or Angel Island.
The park is also home to a number of festivals and other outdoor events.
You could also go fishing off of elephant rock. Always fun for the kids.

I absolutely love this park and will argue til I’m blue in the face that it has one of the best views of the city (when it’s not fogged in!).
Beautifully maintained path, benches, and grassy space invite the public for strolls along the waterfront. Beware though — it can be VERY busy on a clear day!
It’s also a great spot to come if it’s a scorcher of a day in the north bay ‘cuz it’s guaranteed to be at least 15 degrees cooler! Yay natural air conditioning!

It is just a small strip of green grass — only about a block long — with the Tiburon Railroad-​Ferry Museum Building right in the middle of this little park. Open on Sunday & Wednesdays. Park is open all the time.
Come out and enjoy the stars and the City Lights on a warm summer evening!
