Situated on a peninsula that juts into San Francisco Bay, Tiburon boasts killer views of San Francisco’s skyline and Angel Island. Ferrying across the bay to Angel Island is a must. Once there, you can hike or bike — rentals are available — and visit the island’s former immigration station, now a museum. Back in Tiburon, browse upscale shops in Main Street’s Gold Rush-era buildings and Ark Row’s converted turn-of-the-century houseboats. The cost: About $500 for one night at Waters Edge Hotel, meals and ferry tickets for three.
