Welcome to the Marin Headlands Hostel

The Marin Headlands Hostel is your ticket to breathtaking ocean vistas and trails that lead to scenic beaches with little evidence of human presence.

For years the Marin Headlands section of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area has been a favorite destination for travelers. One look and the reasons are clear--even the trails feature diverse environments, from creek side to mountainside, open meadow to crashing surf.

The turn-of-the-century buildings at Fort Barry that house our guests provide convenient access to nearby beaches, forests, and rolling hills. A short walk to Rodeo Lagoon and Beach offers an abundance of wildlife and native plant life. Scenic trails in nearby Mount Tamalpais State Park and Muir Woods National Monument are popular for morning hikes that conclude with a secluded picnic in the Headlands.

A certified green business, the Marin Headlands Hostel offers both shared and private rooms, as well as cozy guest lounges, fully equipped kitchens, and amenities including Internet facilities, on-site laundry, and free parking.

In addition to welcoming individual travelers, the hostel is a popular spot for weddings and won a 2002 Best of the Bay award from the San Francisco Bay Guardian for "Most Romantic Nearby Weekend Getaway."

Reserve your stay today, and join the many travelers of all ages who visit the Marin Headlands Hostel for a comfortable, relaxing retreat in a spectacular coastal wilderness.
