Larkspur Landing

A Golden Gate Ferry vessel transiting to San Francisco

Larkspur Landing is the main Golden Gate Ferry terminal in Larkspur, Marin County, California. The terminal is a regional hub receiving heavy service from throughout the North Bay for commuter ferries to downtown San Francisco.

A proposed rail system similar to Caltrain would terminate at this terminal or at a new replacement terminal in San Quentin to ease traffic gridlock along Highway 101. It would serve as in intermodal station, where passengers could then transfer to San Francisco bound ferries.

Larkpur Landing rose from the ashes of the long demolished Hutchinson's Rock Quarry. The quarry property also spawned the Larkspur Landing Shopping Center, with adjacent apartments and office space.

Director Don Siegal filmed the final scenes from the 1971 movie Dirty Harry on adjacent East Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. After hijacking a school bus "Scorpio" (Andy Robinson) drives into East Sir Francis Drake Boulevard at the Greenbrae interchange before crashing into the site of the Hutchinson Co. quarry.
