They’re all over, but this is the one that we typically go to near home (the closest one is in deep East Oakland near the Coliseum). Tip: the drive-through line is always long, go in and order to stay or go.

Not that close, but a relatively short drive to Marin. You can drive to the top of the mountain then make a short, easy hike to the top of the peak, which has amazing views.

While the lighthouse is definitely cool, the drive there is what I really love. It seems like the stairs down to the lighthouse are often closed when there is no Ranger on duty. So check online in advance. Can also get pretty foggy on the coast in the summer.

Porady dla podróżnych

Poruszanie się po okolicy

General safety

Unless you are very familiar with the area, we recommend avoiding the neighborhoods downhill from our property. That area is deep East Oakland, which has a lot of challenges with crime and safety. If navigation directs you to something in that area, you may want to seek other options. In the driveway and anywhere you park in the Bay Area, be sure to lock your car and don’t leave anything in it that will make people think about breaking in (or anything you’ll really miss if stolen), even if hidden. Be sure to always lock doors if leaving the house and when going to bed for the night.
