The Best Summer Fun on Marin Waters
Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau
Summer is calling with sunshine and outdoor fun for you. Beach and water sport fans should get set to get wet in Marin County's oceans and bays. Visitors will not want to miss this Northern California getaway destination, where some of the country’s most iconic mountain coastlines serve as a backdrop for world-class kayaking and water sports.
Marin County features water experiences with some of the most majestic Pacific Ocean and California mountain views, with attractions like Point Reyes National Seashore, China Camp State Park and Corte Madera Creek. Here are a few of the best water events this summer in Marin County, plus places you can paddle every weekend.
Boating
Summertime offers great Marin County boat tour opportunities, with afternoon jaunts in the Pacific or a sunset sail. Try out this special Summer Solstice sail with the Freda B where you'll board in Sausalito and sail around the most iconic parts of San Francisco Bay, often including Alcatraz, Angel Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands, and the San Francisco Skyline. Take in these sights from the special vantage of the water, on the deck of a meticulously-maintained, traditionally-rigged sailboat.
It's a perfect way to enjoy every last bit of daylight on the longest day of the year!
Don’t settle for the same old washed-up weekend getaway when you can see some of
the world’s most famous scenery in Marin County. You’ll harbor great feelings toward
Marin County with a memorable getaway to its wonderful waters, so make plans to set
sail for the sunny side of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Paddleboarding
Stand-up paddleboarding is one of California’s hottest outdoor crazes. 101 Surf Sports specializes in stand-up paddleboarding, but also offers gear and lessons for windsurfing, kiteboarding, surfing and kayaking.
101 Surf Sports provides stand-up paddle tours and kayak tours all year-round. But in
the summer months, it presents a special season of kiteboarding and windsurfing
downwind runs.
Explore a Beach on Horseback
Yes, you can take a horse to water – and here we mean to Wildcat Beach with Five Brooks Ranch. This will be the Ride of your dreams! Climb through the forest over the Inverness ridge where the Farallon Islands point out the way to Wildcat beach. Stop for a lunch break (bring your own) before heading down one of the most beautiful, remote white sand beaches in California to spectacular Alamere Falls. This is an experience you will treasure for a lifetime.
