In our popular post Sausalito Travel Guide: A Perfect Day Around Sausalito we recommend a hike on Tennessee Point Trail along the coast in the Marin Headlands. We want to tell you: if you have time for only one thing on that itinerary, make it this hike! It’s an easy 1.5 round trip with some of the most awesome views you’ll find in the Bay Area. And bonus: it’s close to our three Marin Hotels.

“This trail along the bluff to Tennessee Point can't get any closer to the water without getting wet.”
— Phil DiGirolamo

How To. Park at the Rodeo Beach lot and head towards the Coastal Trail. You’ll veer toward the left for a slight uphill and then turn right to follow the Coastal Trail until you reach Tennessee Point. Enjoy that spot for a while before you turn around and head back the same way.

Look for the start of the trail at the North end of the Rodeo Beach parking lot. Head up and hang a left.

Note: Please stay on trail! As tempting as going off trail may be, the terrain is unstable.

Se you out there!
