Battery Townsley

Highlight • Historical Site

Batterij Townsley is a place where nature and history meet. As you climb along the rugged cliffs of the Marin Headlands, the old coastal defense slowly emerges from the landscape. Once at the top, a panorama opens up that will leave you speechless: the Pacific Ocean, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the endless horizon. The abandoned bunkers and tunnels give the place a mysterious atmosphere, as if time has stood still here. A perfect stop to enjoy, wander, and completely immerse yourself in the view.

Bothin Marsh Preserve

Highlight • Natural

This tidal sanctuary runs along the Mill Valley-Sausalito Pathway and the Charles F. McGlashan Pathway. More than 400 species of migratory birds rest here after their long flights, and if you pass through in the early morning or late evening, the sunrises and sunsets reflect beautifully on the surface of this 106-acre marsh.
