Strawberry, Marin County, California

Strawberry is a census-designated place (CDP) and an unincorporated district of Marin County, California, United States.

It shares a ZIP code (94941) with Mill Valley (hence, addresses in Strawberry are listed as "Mill Valley") and falls within its school districts; however, it is considered within the sphere of influence of the town of Tiburon.

[3] Occupying Strawberry Point that extends into Richardson Bay, it is bordered to the east by Tiburon, to the west by Mill Valley, and to the north by unincorporated Alto.

To the south, across the west arm of Richardson Bay, are Marin City and Sausalito.

U.S. Route 101 forms the western edge of Strawberry, with the highway leading north 6 miles (10 km) to San Rafael, the county seat, and south 8 miles (13 km) over the Golden Gate Bridge to San Francisco.

(A portion of unincorporated Mill Valley west of the freeway is sometimes included in the overall Strawberry CDP.)

Ring Mountain, holding significant evidence of Native American habitation, dominates the high ground east of Strawberry on the Tiburon Peninsula.

[citation needed] Strawberry is the site of a major transfer bus stop for Golden Gate Transit.

Starting in 1969, 6th, 7th and 8th grade students attended Mill Valley Middle School.

[12] Huey Lewis attended Strawberry Point School in the 1950s, where he skipped second grade.
