Bolinas Hardware in Bolinas, CA

Bolinas Hardware sits at 1 Olema Bolinas Road, right at the crossroads of town life in Bolinas. It is a full-service hardware store and lumberyard that also functions as a small mercantile - the place you go for fasteners and building supplies, then end up leaving with kitchen goods, a gift, art supplies, or coffee beans because the shelves cover far more than a standard big-box aisle.

What Bolinas Hardware Is

The store's own pitch is simple and accurate: almost everything. Core departments include building supplies, housewares, and gifts, art, and toys, alongside rock, gravel, and concrete service through the lumberyard side of the business. That mix makes it useful for contractors, homeowners, weekenders fixing a rental, and travelers who forgot something essential on the way to the coast.

Under new ownership since April 2019, Bolinas Hardware continues a long-standing community role in West Marin: the dependable local counter for tools, materials, and household needs when the nearest big-box run is a long drive away.

What You Can Find

Expect the practical hardware inventory first - building materials, project supplies, and lumberyard staples. Then lean into the mercantile side: housewares, kitchen goods, toys, art supplies, books, cameras and film, candy, and other small everyday pleasures that make the shop feel distinctly Bolinas rather than purely industrial.

That combination is why the store works as both an errand stop and a browse-worthy West Marin destination. Locals treat it as infrastructure. Visitors often discover it as one of the most useful and characterful shops in town.
