Belvedere

Belvedere, California

Belvedere is an affluent town in Marin County, California. Belvedere is located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northeast of Sausalito and about 4 mi (6 km) north of San Francisco.

Situated on the Tiburon Peninsula at the southeastern base of Ring Mountain, between Richardson Bay and the Town of Tiburon, Belvedere consists of two "islands" and the lagoon (Belvedere Lagoon) between them. The larger of the two islands is Belvedere Island, and the smaller one is Corinthian Island, which is shared with Tiburon. This locale of Ring Mountain is notable for its archaeological resources of extant Native American petroglyphs as well as considerable biodiversity of California native plants.
