Areas north of Golden Gate Bridge

Here is a beautiful aerial photo showing the areas north of Golden Gate Bridge (land to the left of the photo), which is much less populated.

At the northern end of the bridge, there is a vista point for tourists to stop their cars to rest or look back at the bridge and the city of San Francisco.

Further on from this vista point, through a short tunnel, the road leads to a small fishing village called Sausalito. There are shops, cafés and piers. At the waterfront there is a small park with parking spaces at its roadside. Houses here are normally built on the hillside except those fringing the main road.

To the northwest of Sausalito is the famous national park called the Muir Woods where very old and tall trees grow.
