Prior to the European colonization of California, the Coast Miwok lived in the area, possibly calling the area "Bali-N".{{Cite web|url=https://www.kalw.org/post/bolinas-hidden-town-history|title=Bolinas: a hidden town with history|first=Steven|last=Short|website=www.kalw.org}}

Bolinas and present-day Stinson Beach were once encompassed by Rancho Las Baulines, a Mexican land grant given by Governor Pío Pico to Gregorio Briones in 1846.Ogden Hoffman, 1862, Reports of Land Cases Determined in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California{{cite web |title=Marin County Rancho Map |url=http://www.co.marin.ca.us/depts/lb/main/crm/maps/MarinRanchosMap.swf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081114181514/http://www.co.marin.ca.us/depts/lb/main/crm/maps/MarinRanchosMap.swf |archive-date=2008-11-14 |access-date= |website=County of Marin}}

The first post office in the town of Bolinas opened in 1863. The post office closed on March 3, 2023, leaving the town more isolated. The town's residents have petitioned for it to reopen.{{Cite web |last=Branson-Potts |first=Hailey |date=2024-06-10 |title=Dear USPS: This Marin County town wants its post office back |url=https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-06-10/dear-usps-this-marin-county-town-wants-its-post-office-back |access-date=2024-06-10 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Branson-Potts |first=Hailey |date=2025-05-10 |title='We Did It, Bolinas!!!'

In 1927, a {{cvt|300.|acre}} former dairy farm on the Big Mesa was subdivided into a grid of streets and 5,336 lots measuring {{cvt|20.|x|100.|ft}}. Many of these lots were sold for $69.50 by the San Francisco Bulletin as a subscription promotion. Portions of the mesa, including sections of Ocean Parkway, have since eroded into the sea. A few streets on the mesa are paved and maintained by the county, but many are unpaved, and either maintained by adjoining property owners or completely unmaintained."A Plan for the Bolinas Gridded Mesa", Bolinas Planning Council and The Marin County Planning Department, 1984.

The Bolinas beaches were hit hard by the 1971 San Francisco Bay oil spill, with the community coming together to clean the beach of crude oil.

The Bolinas Museum was founded in 1983. It contains five galleries featuring contemporary art, historical information, and works from local artists.{{Cite web|url=http://bolinasmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/archive/general_info.html|title=Bolinas Museum|website=Bolinasmuseum.org|access-date=2017-12-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171222053122/http://bolinasmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/archive/general_info.html|archive-date=2017-12-22|url-status=dead}}

Bolinas sits at an elevation of {{convert|36|ft}} above sea level. It is bound on the northeast by Bolinas Lagoon and Kent Island, on the south by Bolinas Bay and Duxbury Point, on the southwest by the Pacific Ocean, and on the northwest by Point Reyes National Seashore. According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of {{convert|5.8|sqmi|km2}}, all of it land. The GNIS has cited archaic alternate town-names, including "Ballenas", "Baulenas", "Baulings", and "Bawlines".

Bolinas' downtown is located on the eastern side of town along Wharf Road, which ends at Bolinas Lagoon. The downtown buildings were mostly built between 1850 and 1920. Brighton Avenue connects downtown to the south-facing Brighton Beach. In the southeast corner of town is the Little Mesa. The Big Mesa, also known as the Gridded Mesa, lies to the west, with Agate Beach at its western end.

The community is known for its reclusive residents. It is only accessible via unmarked roads; any road sign along State Route 1 that points the way into town has been torn down by local residents,{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/07/09/us/bolinas-journal-welcome-to-bolinas-please-keep-on-moving.html |title=Bolinas Journal; Welcome to Bolinas; Please Keep On Moving |newspaper=The New York Times |date=2000-07-09 |access-date=2011-12-20}} to the point where county officials offered a ballot measure to which the voters responded by stating a preference for no more signs.{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-11-09-mn-1431-story.html |title=Road Signs?

By air, Bolinas is just {{convert|10|mi|km}} west-southwest of San Rafael,{{California's Geographic Names|605}} and {{convert|13|mi}} northwest of San Francisco. While located just {{Convert|2|mi}} from State Route 1, the area is not very accessible by car. The driving time from San Rafael is roughly 52 minutes, and it takes over an hour to drive to downtown San Francisco.{{cite web|url=https://maps.google.com/|title=Google Maps|website=Google Maps|access-date=27 August 2018}}

Bolinas lies west of the San Andreas Fault, which runs the length of Bolinas Lagoon and continues northward through Olema Valley and Tomales Bay. Bolinas and the Point Reyes peninsula are on the Pacific Plate, moving north relative to Stinson Beach and the North American Plate at an average rate of about {{convert|1|in|cm}} per year.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}}

Point Reyes National Seashore borders Bolinas to the northwest. Duxbury Reef State Marine Conservation Area encompasses Bolinas' western shoreline.

Bolinas experiences warm (occasionally hot) and dry summers, with some average monthly days in summer months above {{convert|77.1|°F}}. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Bolinas has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps. Like much of the California coast, summer afternoons are often cool and windy (and sometimes foggy) as winds blow in off the ocean.

It receives more rain than other coast cities in the San Francisco Bay Area in this latitude with {{cvt|1034.70|mm}} of rain.

Bolinas is in the Bolinas-Stinson Union School District, the Tamalpais Union High School District,{{cite web|url=https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/PL20/st06_ca/schooldistrict_maps/c06041_marin/DC20SD_C06041.pdf|title=2020 CENSUS - SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENCE MAP: Marin County, CA|publisher=U.S. Census Bureau|accessdate=2023-04-28}} - [https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/PL20/st06_ca/schooldistrict_maps/c06041_marin/DC20SD_C06041_SD2MS.txt Text list] and the Marin Community College District. Students in primary grades (kindergarten – grade 2) attend Stinson Beach School, while elementary grade students (grades 3–8) attend Bolinas School. Bolinas is included in the attendance area of Tamalpais High School, in Mill Valley.

In 1951, Ford Times identified Bolinas as the first in its series of "Tom Sawyer Towns... a good place for boys and girls to live and grow... its school days, its summer vacations, its vast adventures in fishing, swimming, baseball, basking and dreaming in the sun. Such a place is Bolinas."{{cite journal|last=Corliss|first=J. Ray|date=March 1951|title=Bolinas, California|journal=Ford Times|volume=43|issue=3|pages=2–11}}

Bolinas is unincorporated, receiving general government services from Marin County, including law enforcement, land use planning, public health, and code enforcement. Two special districts provide local services. The Bolinas Community Public Utility District provides water and wastewater service and contracts for garbage and recycling collection.{{cite web|url=http://www.bcpud.org/ |title=Bolinas Community Public Utility District |website=Bcpud.org |date=2011-12-16 |access-date=2011-12-20}} The Bolinas Fire Protection District provides fire protection, emergency medical care, and disaster management services.{{cite web|url=http://www.bolinasfire.org/ |title=Bolinas Fire Protection District | Home |website=Bolinasfire.org |access-date=2011-12-20}}

In 1967, the Bolinas Community Public Utility District was formed by the Marin County Board of Supervisors. It merged two local water districts, the Bolinas Beach Public Utility District which served the Big Mesa, and the Bolinas Public Utility District which served the Downtown and Little Mesa, with the Marin County Sanitary District #3, formed in 1908 to provide sewer service in the downtown. The BCPUD provides water service and solid waste pickup throughout Bolinas, and sewer service to the Downtown and Little Mesa.

In November 1971, the Bolinas Community Public Utility District instituted a moratorium on new water permits, which halted the construction of new homes. The moratorium was based on the limited local water supply during the summer months and in drought years, and also serves to limit new development in Bolinas. In 1990, the BCPUD enacted a moratorium on new sewer connections, to address the limited capacity of the sewage collection system. Many lots, especially on the Big Mesa, remain undeveloped.

In 2003, Bolinas voters adopted Measure G, authored by Bolinas artist Jane "Dakar" Blethen.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Bolinas-puts-good-karma-on-the-ballot-2551482.php|title=Bolinas puts good karma on the ballot|last1=Fimrite|first1=Peter|last2=Podger|first2=Pamela J.|date=2003-10-30|website=SFGate|access-date=2019-11-17|last3=Writers|first3=Chronicle Staff}} The advisory measure called for the following language to be adopted as a policy of the Bolinas Community Public Utility District:

Besides the public access beach near the downtown area, there is a county park, Agate Beach, which contains extensive tide pools that are protected as part of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. The town also hosts the Marin-Bolinas Botanical Gardens, and borders on the Point Reyes National Seashore to the north. Alamere Falls, one of only two beach waterfalls in the continental U.S., is on the California Coastal Trail from Palomarin Trailhead at the end of Mesa Road.

Duxbury Reef State Marine Conservation Area lies offshore from Bolinas. As an underwater park, this marine protected area helps conserve ocean wildlife and marine ecosystems.

Bolinas and its reclusive reputation are featured in the 1981 novel Ecotopia Emerging by Ernest Callenbach.

Wildflowers, a 1999 film starring Daryl Hannah, was partly filmed in Bolinas.{{Citation|last=Painter|first=Melissa|title=Wildflowers|date=2000-03-04|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144688/|others=Clea DuVall, Daryl Hannah, Tomas Arana|access-date=2017-12-19}}

Radio Free Bolinas was a pirate radio station that was founded in 1978, and was shut down by the FCC sometime after the station had a call from San Francisco, over 10 miles away and out of their broadcast range.Harry L.
