Belvedere
Magical Islands in the Bay
Belvedere offers old-world elegance and expansive views of San Francisco, the Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge. This charming community has been desirable for more than 150 years. About 2,300 people reside in Belvedere in approximately 900 housing units.
Belvedere Island, the smaller Corinthian Island, Belvedere Lagoon as well as condominium residences along Beach Road comprise this magical location at the tip of the Tiburon Peninsula. The lagoon, connecting the island to the mainland, is a sunny and serene setting for elegant waterfront homes—it’s like a beachfront without waves.
From neighboring Tiburon, commuters can take the Golden Gate Ferry to work in San Francisco. Average commute time is 37 mintues. Families day trip to Angel Island State Park aboard the Tiburon-Angel Island Ferry

Boating in Belvedere

Favorite Places
The China Cabin, a National Maritime Monument, on Beach Road (a short walk toward downtown Tiburon) was the social saloon of the SS CHINA (1866). The gilded and well-restored Victorian drawing room was salvaged before the sidewheeler was burned for scrap metal. It’s open to the public from April through October on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 pm. This waterfront cabin can be rented from the Belvedere-Tiburon Landmarks Society for special gatherings.
The best way to experience the charm and elegance of Belvedere is from a boat or kayak on the Bay, or by walking the town’s winding streets.
