What to expect:

On the water at Pt San Pablo Harbor, a bayside escape to nourish the body and feed the soul awaits. Down at the harbor, you’ll relax with wonderful vistas and the gentle lapping of water. Items from the sea and land and gardens guide the menu. Pizza is baked outside in a wood-fired pizza oven. And, they are serving up regional small batch craft beer and wines.

There are pathways along the water and houseboats, hiking paths up the hill with fantastic views. So many options for you, your family and friends when you visit the Sailing Goat!
