A rugged and recommended whale-watching promontory along the California coast.

It’s an easy hike along the top of cliffs with beautiful views of Bodega Bay, the coastline and the tip of Point Reyes Seashore. You need to stop and enjoy the views, there are seals(?) on rocks offshore and swimming, deer grazing and lots of birds. We visited on a windy day and the wind watery strong. Not a hike to rush through, you need to linger.

Challenging windsurfing beach located in Bodega Bay.
Reviewed By FCT3 - Davis, United States
This is a great beach. It is easily accessible and gives a great view of Bodega Bay, the Pacific Ocean, and the surrounding landscape. The beach is long and the waves are pretty gentle. You can bring your dog, you can surf, or you can just stroll along the flat sand.

The Bodega Head Ride is a very low traffic road with large bicycle lanes in both directions. It is a 4 mile one way ride along the bay the entire time ending at the beautiful Bodega Head State Park. There are three other parks, a restaurant and UC Davis's Bodega Marine Laboratory to visit along the way. This is a perfect ride for every weather condition also. A great and affordable way to experience Bodega Bay. There is a full service Bicycle Shop with rentals at the beginning of the ride. Have Fun!

Great ride, part on the road and then up into the headlands to Bodega Head. Suggest starting at Ginocchio’s Barbeque. Pretty flat road road with not too much traffic around the inlet and then winding up to Bodega Head. Can get pretty windy up there but if you go on a nice days the views are memorable. Single track shared use paths up on the top take you around. I don’t know maybe 12 miles round trip. Nice!

Scenic views abound. Watching the ocean waves crash up against the rocks is oddly satisfying. This is a good place to walk. Or, set up your beach chair, and bring a book, if you prefer. Cellular signals are sketchy to non-existent here. Do your research beforehand. WiFi is available a few miles at the Sonoma Visitor’s. Enter. Restrooms are available. No charge to use the beach. Imagine what it was like to be on the stage set of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds.” Dress in or brink layers of clothing.

Had a good time at Westside stayed for 5 days . The fresh crabs sold down the street were delish. Great hiking trails nearby . Its dry camping , but water and a dump station were available I'm glad they have cut off times for generators as some people would run them all day and night. I did have to remind them to refill the doggie bags but they were re-filled an hour or so later. will definitely be back for more crab before the season is out.
