Bodega Bay:
Located on the coast of Northern California, only a short drive from the famed Sonoma Wine Country, Bodega Bay is a world of its own. As you drive out to the coast on Bodega Highway, signs of development and people give way to sheep, cattle, green hills and spaciousness. And that is the major asset out here. Space, lots of it, brilliantly protected by the county from over development, making the homes here a veritable treasure. The beaches vary from the calm and protected inlet at Doran Beach to the wild and rugged surfer beaches along US 1. On many weekdays, you have the entire beach to yourself.
Local Info:
The town of Bodega Bay itself is one of the last commercial fishing towns on this coast, and is in transition as commercial fishing yields to tourist and recreational interests. However, nothing can change the beauty and purity of the natural environment here. Hikes on Bodega Head, long walks on miles of sandy beach or amid sand dunes, great meals overlooking the bay, all create a quiet and perfect place for a vacation home. Doran Beach offers a prime spot for families with small children as the surf here is mellow, and the beach perfect for flying kites and making sand mermaids.
