The small southern Marin "town" of Muir Beach is just 6 miles from the Highway 1 exit off Highway 101 north of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.

It two beaches, the surrounding Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Mt. Tamalpais, nearby Muir Woods National Monument, Green Gulch Farm/Zen Center, Slide Ranch and, of course the "old" English Pub, The Pelican Inn makes this a great getaway destination. This beautiful area is full of wildlife: Monarch butterflies in the pine trees, salmon in Redwood Creek, frogs, fox, birds, deer, coyote. Horseback riding, beach combers, boogie boarders and kayakers come here year around to enjoy the fresh sea air.

Great fishing for Steelhead in season and trout can be found in the streams that run off the hills. The Community Center has classes, craft fairs, and can be rented for events, the Volunteer Fire Department has a fun Rock-N-Roll fundraiser BBQ each Memorial Day Sunday. Originally settled by the Miwok and Portuguese, Muir Beach celebrates its historic lore, its arts and its quiet beauty.
