Northern California Beaches

Bodega Bay


The site of many Alfred Hitchcok films, Bodega Bay offers more than just birds.  High cliffs descend upon rocky shores leading to cold, crashing waves.

Goat Rock



You will not see any goats at Goat Rock.  Instead, you will see seasonal California poppy flowers spanning the cliffs.


Jenner

Jenner
provides a unique ecosystem for plants and animals.  Jenner is the point where the Russian River and the ocean meet, creating an estuary.  Many sea lions make there way to Jenner every year to rest and reproduce.
