One of the most attractive features of living at DeSilva Island is its ideal location. Just 10 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge, this secluded community offers easy access to the culture and sophistication of San Francisco plus the country lifestyle of Mill Valley and southern Marin. Just off the Seminary Drive exit of Highway 101, DeSilva Island is conveniently close to the towns of Sausalito, Tiburon and Belvedere. Each one features quaint shops, galleries, boutiques, bistros and more. Numerous recreational activities and attractions are located in and around DeSilva Island. The nearby Marin Headlands, Muir Woods, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Mt. Tamalpais provide an abundance of outdoor activities along with miles of trails for hiking, jogging and mountain biking. The coastal hideaway towns of Stinson Beach, Bolinas, Inverness and the Point Reyes National Seashore are an easy morning or afternoon drive away.
