Tiburon is a town located in Marin County, California. It occupies most of the Tiburon Peninsula, which reaches south into the (A bay of the Pacific in western California) San Francisco Bay; the smaller town of (A gazebo sited to command a fine view) Belvedere (formerly a separate island) occupies the south-west part of the peninsula and is contiguous with Tiburon. Tiburon is bordered by Corte Madera to the north but is otherwise surrounded by the Bay.

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. "Tiburón" is (The Romance language spoken in most of Spain and the countries colonized by Spain) Spanish for "shark".
