Nick's Cove

Nick's Cove sits along the shores of Tomales Bay in Marshall, California — a historic coastal property with roots stretching back to 1931, when Nick and Frances Kojich converted a former herring curing facility into a waterfront gathering place serving travelers, fishermen, and sportsmen from across California. Today, the property preserves that original character while offering modern amenities, operating as a destination restaurant, lodging retreat, and private event venue along Highway One in West Marin. Four distinct indoor and outdoor spaces accommodate gatherings ranging from intimate private dining of 24 guests on the Waterfront Lounge patio to full-property buyouts of up to 120 guests, incorporating the entire restaurant and outdoor areas. The venue has long been described as one of the last remaining historic settlements still catering to the tourist trade on this stretch of coastline, with its bayfront piers, renovated cottages, and sweeping bay views setting the backdrop for weddings, corporate retreats, and special celebrations. Events are supported by an in-house culinary team led by Executive Chef Matt Alfus, with menus emphasizing locally sourced ingredients and seasonal seafood. Overnight accommodations in twelve historic cottages are available for guests, making Nick's Cove a destination for multi-day celebrations.
