with gorgeous views. The name comes from the Spanish

Take the ferry from San Francisco, browse the shops on Main St, grab a bite to eat and
you've seen Tiburon. The town is also a jumping-off point for nearby Angel Island.
Sights & Activities
The central part of town is comprised of Tiburon Blvd, with Juanita Lane and charming
Main St arcing off. Main St, which is also known as Ark Row, is where the old houseboats
have taken root on dry land and metamorphosed into classy shops and boutiques.
