Representing two of the most prestigious addresses in the entire Bay Area, the adjacent communities of Tiburon and Belvedere share retail amenities and services. Tiburon is situated on a hilly peninsula that juts into the San Francisco Bay, creating spectacular views and yet protected by coastal hills from chill and fog. Belvedere has the appearance of an island, rising sharply from the water, climbing over a hill and dropping off to the other side. Connected to Tiburon by two roads at either end of the “Island,” Belvedere was appropriately named using the Italian word for “beautiful view.” Development in both communities is carefully controlled, from limited commercial activity to structures that might block the superb Bay vistas. Respected schools boast academic rankings among California’s highest, adding to the allure of an exclusive, small-town atmosphere. Local celebrations range from traditional themes such as the wine or chile festivals to unique displays like the Halloween Pet Parade–and yes, the animals are costumed. Yacht, tennis, and swim clubs are abundant. Other attractions and recreational highlights include a wildlife sanctuary, several lush parks, a fishing pier, marina, and a county park on the north side of the peninsula. A quick commute along Highway 101 or a ride on the ferry brings residents to the cultural, educational, shopping, and employment advantages of San Francisco.
