The commute via the Larkspur ferry is one of the most civilized commutes in the bay area, with gorgeous views and even food & wine served on-board. The ferry disembarks at San Francisco’s famous Ferry Building with its plethora of gourmet shops and restaurants. Larkspur is just a few minutes from the freeway and then approximately 14 miles to downtown San Francisco. In addition, the SMART train now connects to Larkspur for commutes northward.

Larkspur is a haven for hikers and bikers. Hiking Baltimore Canyon is one of my favorite Marin hikes, and its easy to connect to trails leading to Mount Tamalpais and even Sausalito, the Golden Gate Bridge and the city if you’re feeling ambitious. Download the Marin Bicycle Map here for a list of biking routes. I love hiking on King Mountain nearby, as well as Crown Road and Ring Mountain.
The Marin Country Mart Farmer’s Market is a very popular shopping option for Larkspur residents. It features fresh produce, seafood, meats and cheeses, and entertainment for the kids such as face painting and pony rides. Many supermarkets are just minutes away, including Molly Stone’s, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Woodlands Market.
