Have it all in this charming enclave on the Bay

Coastal Picturesque Lush Tranquil Nautical Charming

Located about 16 miles northeast of Downtown San Francisco, Marina Bay is a charming coastal neighborhood offering suburban tranquility paired with urban accessibility. Marina Bay, also known as Richmond Riviera, sits in Richmond’s protected Inner Harbor, where residents enjoy boating, fishing, and walking along the scenic Marina Bay Trail.

Marina Bay is walkable to the many art galleries, antique shops, upscale boutiques, and artisan eateries and cafes in the quaint downtown area of neighboring Point Richmond. Area attractions such as Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park, Point Isabel Regional Shoreline, and Golden Gate Fields are all just a short drive away from Marina Bay as well. Convenience to multiple BART stations, I-580, and the Richmond Ferry makes getting around from Marina Bay a breeze.
