Tiburon Multi-Use Path

Still on a major health and fitness kick (I am looking good!!!) and decided to take a nice long walk along the bay in Tiburon today. Now I’ve know for years that there’s a path that runs parallel to Tiburon Blvd next to the bay since I’ve sped by it in my car for years, but this was the first time I’ve ever taken the time to walk it and I’m really glad I did.
From the convenient free parking at Blackie’s pasture to the path’s end upon arriving at the edge of downtown Tiburon, the path is beautifully paved and much of it looks like it has received considerable new landscaping and an abundance of nice benches to rest on.
There are cute little romantic spots just off the path with a lone bench facing the water and even a hidden spot with a nice little gazebo with an inscription on the floor blessing all those who discover it. So peaceful… so serene… as you hear the water gently lapping at the shore.
Along the water, you can see all kinds of nature and wildlife and the scenery is downright gorgeous. There are even fenced off areas for use as a natural reserve/​animal habitat.
During the scenic walk, there are very few places where you actually have to cross the street in front of cars and since it’s Tiburon, there are no crazies or homeless to worry about as you walk around enjoying nature.
The bronze statue of the horse «Blackie» at the very beginning was a really nice touch too. Apparently, he was quite a beloved landmark who could always be seen there for forty years until he passed away.
Upon arriving in downtown Tiburon, we looked around all the little shops and even did some wine tasting before turning around and walking allllllll the way back. Hadn’t realized how long the walk would be as it took about four hours total (roundtrip) including an hour in Tiburon. If you walk from one end to the other like we did, be aware that it will take some time as the distance is considerably longer than it seems. Next time, I’ll park at the halfway point instead of the far end.
As I mentioned earlier, there were tons of benches to sit on along the way. Sadly, there was only one bathroom along the entire multi-​use path that I could find. I just couldn’t believe it. As such, I couldn’t give five stars, but it’s still a great place for a nice walk, especially on a weekday when you can avoid all the crowds.
