Known for
The towns of Bodega and Bodega Bay are an ideal destination for those seeking to get away and unplug from urban life. Famously one of the filming locations of Alfred Hitchcock’s film “The Birds”, Bodega offers ample opportunity for bird-watching as this part of the coast is on the migratory path north for many land and sea birds. Bodega Bay is rife with other outdoor activities such as hiking, tidepooling, fishing, and even whale-watching. The 1.7 mile walking trail at Bodega Head has stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and designated whale-watching viewing spots. After a day of communing with nature, foodies will delight in the culinarily offerings—the area is resplendent with fare fresh from the ocean and the surrounding countryside.
