Loch Lomond-Canal North, located between Point San Pedro Road and the San Rafael Bay shoreline, is a waterfront and residential San Rafael neighborhood with canal-side streets and marina views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Loch Lomond Marina promenade, where boat slips, a chandlery feel, and casual waterfront patios set the tone. Low-slung mid-century homes and contemporary rebuilds sit along curving roads, with palms and docks shaping the streetscape. The Bay Trail segments and nearby wetlands frame daily walks and bike rides. Andy’s Local Market and Loch Lomond Yacht Club act as familiar community touchpoints. The setting reads coastal and calm, with water always in view.
