Punch Magazine - September 2024

Marin County is nothing short of magical. Situated just north of the Golden Gate Bridge and only 20 minutes from San Francisco’s downtown financial district, Marin is a natural paradise, with over 80% of its land preserved as open space. The landscape features rolling hills, the iconic Mount Tamalpais, pristine beaches, and majestic coastal redwood forests. Scattered throughout are charming towns offering luxury waterfront homes and hillside estates. In Marin, outdoor recreation is a way of life. Within just 10 to 15 miles, you can find opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding, tennis, and golf, with eight courses to choose from. Water activities like kayaking, windsurfing, and sailing are easily accessible, while world-renowned wineries are less than an hour’s drive or train ride away. The climate is mild and Mediterranean-like, with unique microclimates in different neighborhoods, adding to the region’s allure. With its stunning natural beauty, vibrant lifestyle, and rich cultural scene, it’s no wonder that Marin County is consistently ranked as one of the healthiest places to live in the nation. It’s a place where you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the charm of small-town living and the cultural diversity of a nearby cosmopolitan city.
