Tiburon, on the peninsula of the same name, looks like a cross between a fishing village and a Hollywood western set imagine San Francisco reduced to toy dimensions. This seacoast town rambles over a series of green hills and ends up at a spindly, multicolored pier on the waterfront, like a Fisherman s Wharf in miniature. But in reality, it s a plush patch of yacht-club suburbia, as you ll see by both the marine craft and the homes of their owners. Main Street is lined with color-splashed old frame houses that shelter chic boutiques, souvenir stores, antiques shops, and art galleries. Other roads are narrow, winding, and hilly, leading up to dramatically situated homes. The view of San Francisco s skyline and the islands in the bay is a good enough reason to pay the price to live here.
