Just West of the infamous San Andreas fault on the edge of the continent is Bolinas, a well-hidden enclave of artists, writers, musicians, fishermen and just plain folks. Although the community doesn't promote tourism there are a limited number of guest accomodations available. One is Smiley's Schooner Saloon and Hotel established in 1851.

A walk through the village is a must. There are shops, art galleries, a museum and two restaurants in an unusually beautiful setting. Just a block away and you're walking on the beach. Bolinas Lagoon, Point Reyes National Seashore and Pacific Flyway are around the corner.

West Marin offers many outdoor activities including swimming, fishing, surfing, boating, hiking hang gliding, golf and horseback riding, all just minutes from Bolinas. Our staff will be glad to help you with any arrangements necessary for these pursuits or any other questions you may have.

Our rooms are simple yet elegent. Each room is tastefully decorated with historic pictures of the Bay Area. Each includes a private bath and complimentary coffee and a morning paper to start your day off in a lovely outdoor sitting area
