Tiburon is an affluent town in Marin County, California. It occupies most of the Tiburon Peninsula, which reaches south into the San Francisco Bay; the smaller city of Belvedere (formerly a separate island) occupies the south-east part of the peninsula and is contiguous with Tiburon. Tiburon is bordered by Corte Madera to the north and Mill Valley to the west, but is otherwise surrounded by the Bay.

Tiburon was formerly the southern terminus of the San Francisco and Northwestern Pacific Railroad; freight, mostly lumber, was brought to the town to be transferred to barges for shipping to cities within the San Francisco Bay. It is now a commuter and tourist town, linked by fast ferry services to San Francisco and with a concentration of restaurants and clothes shops. It is the nearest mainland point to Angel Island and a regular ferry service connects to the island.

The former railroad grade now forms part of the San Francisco Bay Trail, used by hikers and cyclists. Within the Tiburon town limits, the trail passes through the Richardson Bay Park and next to the Audubon Society's Richardson Bay Sanctuary. These provide excellent opportunities for observing wildlife.
