5 Budget-friendly Things to do in Tiburon That You Shouldn't Miss
Tiburon is an incorporated town in Marin County, California. It is located on the Tiburon Peninsula, which reaches south into the San Francisco Bay. The smaller city of Belvedere (formerly a separate island) occupies the south-west part of the peninsula and is contiguous with Tiburon. Tiburon is bordered by Corte Madera to the north and Mill Valley to the west, but is otherwise mostly surrounded by the Bay. Besides Belvedere and Tiburon, much of the peninsula is unincorporated, including portions of the north side and the communities of Strawberry and Paradise Cay.

This is definitely a hidden gem. It is about 10 min drive out of downtown Tiburon. It is small, meticulously kept. It has clean lawn chairs dotted over the lawn, with a view of the Richmond bridge. It also has a great picnic area tucked away in one corner. There are two small parking lots ($5/car), plenty of space for a Monday afternoon. A great low key place to visit if you are in Tiburon.

A trip on the family-owned Angel Island Ferry is a terrific family experience. I've been many times, starting 35 years ago when I took my son bicycling there with his fifth grade buddies. Now I'm repeating the experience with his children, and it's their favorite activity with their grandparents. The ferry ride is a short 10-minute hop from Tiburon to Ayala Cove, and the ferry staff is super-careful regarding safety, especially in this time of Covid social distancing. They now maintain a low passenger capacity, requiring advance reservations; once you're in line, they're careful to keep people apart, and always masked. They manage to do this with a lot of humor. Once on the island, kids can bike, play on the beach, hike, picnic, or whatever...all in the most scenic spot imaginable. The views westward to San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Marin County are unparalleled. There is a small cafe, a tourist tram with island history, and bike rentals (although the ferry also allows bikes). There is also limited camping (with advance reservations).
5. Old St. Hilary’s Open Space Preserve

Marin County is justly famous for its natural beauty carefully preserved from over-development over the last 50 years. Tiburon's natural treasure is Old St Hilary's Open Space--122 acres of open land at the end of the Tiburon peninsula with sweeping, stunning 360 degree views of San Francisco, the Bay, Marin Headlands and so much more. It's a short hike up from the ferry dock downtown. Once you reach the top, you are well rewarded. The afternoon winds can bring cool air, a refreshing treat after your climb.
