There is a small downtown area in Bolinas with four restaurants (Coast Cafe, Smiley's Saloon, Eleven, and BoVida) as well as two stores which include a local butcher and all organic produce. Additionally, there are two farm stands run by local farmers. There are two museums, a liquor store with an excellent wine selection, and of course the best attraction in town - THE BEACH, which is friendly to beginning surfers! Visitors also enjoy the tennis court, skateboard park, basketball court, and two playgrounds. There are many hiking trails in Bolinas (the most famous is Alamere Falls/Bass Lake trail), as well as in the closest town, Stinson Beach, where you will find a delicious bakery (The Parkside) and several charming shops.

Should you want to take public transportation from the airport to Bolinas, you would need to take the Marin Airporter bus from SFO to the Manzanita stop in Mill Valley. Then you need to walk several blocks to the West Marin Stage (Westbound) which will deliver you to downtown Bolinas. From there you will need to arrange a lift - if the hour is reasonable, we could probably recruit a friend. Additionally, we have friends who offer ride services from SFO or the Manzanita lot to Bolinas. Ride services such as Lyft or Uber can be difficult and expensive once you are in the more rural areas, so I don't recommend relying on those.
