Parking

Please do not park in front of the WESTERN BOAT Shop directly past our shop. There is plenty parking on the street, in our lot, and at our nearby overflow lots. Parking in the San Rafael High School lot is probably the easiest and is just across the street from the shop. Please review the diagram at right below for more information on parking.
