Ah, the new year—time to toss out those old habits, dream big, and chase adventures! Why not make Marin County your launchpad for an unforgettable 2025? Nestled just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, Marin basks in sunshine and good vibes year-round, making it the destination to kickstart those shiny new resolutions.
From jaw-dropping hikes to drool-worthy food experiences, Marin’s got something for everyone. Let’s dive into some fun ways to rock your resolutions, Marin-style:
If your resolution involves getting fit or becoming the outdoor adventurer you always dreamed of, Marin is calling your name (and your sneakers). With miles of trails through the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Point Reyes National Seashore, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Wanna time your visit just right? Keep an eye out for migrating whales or sunbathing elephant seals—nature’s gym buddies.
For those ready to up their cardio game, tackle the iconic Dipsea Trail, or pedal your way into history on the birthplace of mountain biking.
Not into roughing it? Try a Pilates session at Mighty Pilates in Larkspur or sweat it out at SoulCycle. If Zen is your thing, join Uli K Hike and Yoga for scenic walks that double as yoga retreats. And when your muscles need some love, unwind at Evo Spa or Skin Spirit in Mill Valley. Self-care? Check!

Get Your Move On!
Feast for Your Face and Belly
Your taste buds deserve a resolution too, right? Start at Marin’s epic farmers' market (the second largest in California!) every Thursday and Sunday, where actual farmers—yes, the ones who grew the stuff—are waiting to chat.
Why stop there? Sign up for a farm tour, sip on local wines, sample creamy cheeses, or even try mead (yes, medieval-style honey wine is a thing here).
Oh, and oysters. Lots of oysters. Marin’s famous for them. Feeling ambitious? Learn a new ethnic recipe using fresh local ingredients, then grill up your masterpiece at one of Marin’s Culinary Education Centers.
Getting to Marin is a breeze. Fly into the Charles Schulz Airport in Santa Rosa (yes, the guy who drew Snoopy), or cruise in via San Francisco, Oakland, or Sacramento airports. For locals in Northern California, Marin is just a short drive—but worlds away in vibes.
Marin County is where you’ll hike, feast, sip, stretch, and discover your best self—all while soaking up postcard-worthy views. Don’t wait for January First to roll around—your Marin adventure starts now!
When it’s time to switch from hiking boots to dancing shoes, Marin’s cultural scene is ready for you. The Marin Symphony has been serenading locals since 1954—classical music lovers, this one’s for you.
Prefer something a little quirkier? Catch a show under the stars with The Mountain Play Association or snag tickets to the Mill Valley Film Festival, where big-name celebs casually drop by. Fancy seeing your favorite star IRL? This might just be your chance!
Art, Culture & All That Jazz (Or Classical Music)
Close Enough for Comfort, Far Enough to Escape
