Jenner is a delightful coastal town in Sonoma County, located along the mouth of the Russian River at its terminus at the Pacific Ocean. The town is located along more than 20 miles of the beautiful two-lane Highway 1, home to beautiful natural wonders like the 5,630-acre Jenner Headlands Preserve, which protects redwood and Douglas fir forests and offers 14 miles of hiking trails.

Stillwater Cove Regional Park is a popular spot for diving and fishing, while Salt Point State Park offers ample opportunities for hiking and horseback riding. Lovely beachfront areas include Goat Rock Beach, a great spot for whale and harbor seal watching, and Blind Beach, which is known as a top beachcombing area. Visitors can also taste wines at Fort Ross Vineyard and Winery or enjoy organic meals at the charming Cafe Aquatica, which overlooks the river's estuary. Jenner Map
