About Baypoint Lagoons
and Spinnaker Point

Welcome to Baypoint Lagoons and Spinnaker Point!

In 1986, the creation of a unique land plan began: to combine a complete wildlife habitat with the highest standards of home building. With the concerned efforts of state and local government agencies, environmental groups, land planners, and years of studies, the vision became reality.

An ignored point of land on the bay became a unique combination of bayfront, wetlands, and free water lagoons.

The Lagoon and Sanctuary
Home to one of the largest arrays of bay area and migratory waterfowl, the lagoon is a miracle of reclamation.

Dredging and re-engineering for nesting islands and maximum fresh water retention was the first step. Ducklings require fresh water for drinking until their salt glands develop. Adult birds are also attracted to fresh drinking water.

Over the years, wetlands of this kind have all but disappeared. Consequently, the lagoons have become the feeding and resting sanctuary for thousands of native and migratory birds and animals.

The Amenities
Imagine living on the Marin Bayshore, with bike and various paths, exercise areas, swimming pool, spa, and two tennis courts. It is like a vacation at home!

This peaceful shoreline neighborhood features spectacular views of the Bay, Marin Islands, San Rafael-Richmond Bridge, and Mt. Tamalpais. The beautiful landscape of Baypoint provides a tranquil setting for a variety of outdoor pastimes you would normally drive miles to enjoy: Watch Canadian geese, mallards, and other lagoon wildlife from your backyard terrace, play a couple of sets in our two private tennis courts, bike and walk along trails by the bay, go boating at the nearby marina, swim in the pool or even fish off Marin's shimmering shores.

Baypoint and Spinnaker Point give homeowners all of this, with privacy and affordability.

The Convenience
Although it is a secluded point on the bay, Baypoint Lagoons provides immediate access to the bay area. Highways 101 and 580 are just blocks away, making San Francisco or Oakland a 30 minute drive. Additionally, the Golden Gate ferry terminal is just 5 minutes away.

The Baypoint Lagoons is also at the hub of Marin's shopping and business areas, schools, golf and country clubs, restaurants, theaters, boat marinas, and open-space recreational areas. The Napa Sonoma wine country and coast are just 45 minutes away.*

Yet, because Baypoint is a secluded enclave, you feel as though you are miles away!
