Like many of the beaches at Bodega Bay, Scotty Creek Beach is too dangerous for swimming, but just because the ocean isn’t accessible doesn’t mean that it won’t make a great spot for a day trip! Embraced by rocky bluffs on each end, Scotty Creek Beach is arguably the nicest beach in the area for a day of sunbathing, fishing, or beach combing. This pebbly beach is located between Bodega Bay and Jenner and is one of the few in the county that doesn’t belong to the Sonoma State Park. Be sure to drop by and enjoy a day under the sun enjoying the magnificent views, and if time permits you can even drop by Gleason Beach to the north which has an awe-inspiring view of homes being engulfed by the encroaching water line.
Address: Scotty Creek Beach, 5750 Highway 1, Bodega Bay, California 94923
