Neighborhood
Drive six bucolic miles from Highway 101 to the tiny enclave of Muir Beach and you’ve entered another world. The town’s 150 homes, many with commanding ocean views, perch on a hillside overlooking Muir Beach Cove.
With its limited supply, Muir Beach homes for sale can be hard to come by. The community is entirely surrounded by the magnificent Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which boasts miles of hiking trails. Mount Tamalpais State Park, Muir Woods National Monument, and Green Gulch Farm Zen Center are close by. Muir Beach’s mainly full-time residents include lawyers and doctors as well as authors and artists. Community members gather for beach volleyball, tai chi, potlucks, and full-moon hikes.
