Attractions
There is so much to do in Marin County! Be outside! You may find it useful to rent a car. There is a lot to check out in the area - hiking trails, breweries, different cities (they are all very close to each other). We have lots of suggestions for what to do while you are here below. If you have any questions, or want more suggestions for your visit to the Bay Area, contact us!
Special note: You may be interested in purchasing marijuana from nearby California dispensaries. There are NO dispensaries in Marin County (where the wedding is located). If you want to indulge, please visit a dispensary on your way to the Marin County area. If you are already at the hotels, you will have to drive back to Oakland or San Francisco to find a dispensary.
