Review & FAQ:
The Bodega Bay area is well-known for its pretty cliffs and special rock formations, and Gleason Beach is one of the best places to visit if you're interested in the fascinating local geology of this part of the Pacific Coast.
It's a rocky beach, so not particularly suitable for sunbathing or beach games, but wonderful for those with an adventurous spirit. Gleason Beach visitors will have a lot of fun exploring the various rocks and admiring the sea stacks, but beware that there are no amenities at this beach and swimming is strongly discouraged.
