Fairfax

Fairfax is an incorporated town nestled in forested hills 16 miles north of San Francisco

As with many cities in Marin County you will find miles of open space, outdoor activities, quaint local shops, diverse restaurants and an old time music venue.

Fairfax was once called “Little Berkeley” with its laid back attitudes and “green” mentality.

Marin touts itself as being the birthplace of mountain biking and Fairfax has access to some of the best mountain biking trails in the area, along with its mountain biking museum a homage to the sport.

Don’t miss the large, independent organic grocer “The Good Earth” in the center of town. Whether you are passing through or have an extended stay enjoy what this eclectic town has to offer.
