Review & FAQ:
Arched Rock Beach was named after a unique rock formation that has created a little archway.
It's a very pretty sight and a popular spot for tourists to take some photos, with lots of other rocks and boulders dotted around the surrounding landscape.
Waves all around Bodega Bay tend to be calm, but they're especially small and soft here.
Fishing is popular at this beach, which doesn't allow dogs and has no notable amenities to speak of apart from free parking.
