Overview
Spanish adventurers called it Punta de Tiburon: “Shark Point.” Tiburon was once a working-class railroad town. Today it is a trendy, wealthy community with tennis and yacht clubs. Many homes have views of San Francisco Bay, Richardson Bay and Mount Tamalpais.
Adjacent to Tiburon is Belvedere, which means “beautiful view” in Italian. One of the smallest and wealthiest cities in the Bay Area, it is surrounded on all sides by breathtaking vistas. Mount Tamalpais, Richardson Bay to the west, Angel Island and the Tiburon hills to the north and east, and the San Francisco skyline and Golden Gate and Bay bridges to the south can all be seen from Belvedere. The two towns share the downtown business district.
Tiburon has a moderately sized population encompassing all ages. The well-educated townspeople work in managerial, technical, and sales positions. Belvedere has a small population. Almost three-quarters of residents are over 35. The populace is homogeneous, married, and most often university trained.
