A Special Peninsula in the Bay

With over 17 miles of continuous shoreline, Tiburon residents have an eye on the water. If you are looking for real estate with a water view, consider living in Tiburon, with sweeping views of the bay, San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Sausalito hills, and Mount Tamalpais.

Unknown to many outside of the area, Paradise Drive is a special part of town, along a quiet expanse of bay to the east. Homes have large lots, and some have bay frontage and private beaches. A little further north on Paradise Drive is the unique waterfront community of Paradise Cay, built out on the bay in the 1960’s.

The Tiburon Peninsula extends about four miles from Highway 101 into San Francisco Bay. The peninsula, shared with the towns of Belvedere and an unincorporated portion of Mill Valley, is about 1 mile wide.  The Town of Tiburon occupies about 4.4 square miles, approximately a tenth the size of San Francisco.  A large area stretching along the north side of the peninsula is also considered part of town, but is unincorporated and partly administered by Marin County.

History

In 1834, an Irish settler, John Reed, received a land grant from the Spanish government for the Rancho Corte Madera del Presidio, which includes the Tiburon Peninsula. The name Reed and his wife Hilaria, is preserved on streets, subdivisions, and the local school district. The Reed’s granddaughter, Hilarita, married Dr. Benjamin Lyford, who was the first land developer in Tiburon. The Lyford House, is now a feature of the Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Sanctuary on Greenwood Beach Road.

In the early 1880’s Tiburon emerged as a railroad town, with the downtown becoming a large depot for the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad. The railroad provided ferry service for its rail cars to and from San Francisco and then dispatched cars carrying passengers and freight to all locations north. Passenger and freight trains ran until 1967. In the 70’s all rail lines were removed. The Point Tiburon town houses now occupy the site of the rail yard. 

The first post office opened in 1884. In 1964, the Town of Tiburon was incorporated.

There is also plenty of indoor dining with a view and an old-fashioned bar.
  • Servino Ristorante.
  • The Caprice, a two-minute walk east of Old Town, combines spectacular views of San Francisco, Angel Island, and Sausalito, with very good food. Wonderful for any special occasion or special evening.
