Review & FAQ:
One of the most northerly beaches at Bodega Bay, this beach is found right by Bodega Head, the large rocky formation that protects most of the bay. The waters here tend to be a little choppier than they are down in the bay, but it's still a great area to visit, offering some rugged coastline walks and a cozy little picnic area.
The winds can get quite high around Bodega Head Beach, so guests will need to be prepared for that, but it's a nice spot to do some hiking and take some photos, with lots of high points offering beautiful views of Bodega Harbor and the rest of the bay. This is also one of the best Bodega Bay whale-watching beaches.
The beach is 1.5 hours north of San Francisco.
