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.

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.

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.
