44 PUNCHMAGAZINE.COM PHOTOGRAPHY: COURTESY OF BRIAN FERRY / COURTESY OF LODGE AT MARCONI {due west} Driving north through Marshall on Highway 1 in West Marin, it’s easy to overshoot the “blink and you’ll miss it” turnoff.

Recently transformed into an upscale coastal retreat, the Lodge at Marconi offers stand-alone respite and the perfect home base for exploring the region’s timeless beauty.
