Sausalito (Spanish for "small willow grove") is a city in Marin County, California, located 7 km north of San Francisco.
The community is situated near the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Sausalito developed rapidly as a shipbuilding center in World War II, with its industrial character giving way in postwar years to a reputation as a wealthy and artistic enclave, a picturesque residential community (incorporating large numbers of houseboats), and a tourist destination.
