Belvedere Island’s notorious Lava House, a draw for sightseers and adventure-seekers but a nuisance for neighbors and police, has been demolished. Sam’s Anchor Cafe, Tiburon’s famed downtown watering hole, completed a major renovation with nautical nostalgia and modern touches while adding live music. The town of Tiburon completed its $2 million renovation of McKegney Field. Belvedere shored up its crumbling Beach Road seawall and announced a package of long-term flood fixes that could cost up to $26 million. A bay study drew the ire of residents after concluding the most environmentally sound location of a permanent anchorage would be off Belvedere’s shores. Strawberry seminary-site developers are reportedly in talks with the University of Oxford to open an affiliate campus as its anchor tenant.
