Bodega Bay Vacation Rentals are Perfect Year-Round

Although by all appearances Bodega Bay is a small and charming fishing village, this quaint North Coast community is actually teeming with activities from its watery shores to its inland greens.

One of California’s most picturesque attractions, the 17-mile Sonoma Coast State Beach is separated into distinct beaches as its runs from just south of Jenner to Bodega Head. Whether you want to set out on a kayaking adventure from Goat Rock Beach or catch an amazing wave at Salmon Creek Beach, there is a stretch of sand that can accommodate your adventurous spirit.

You don’t even have to get out on the water to bask in the natural beauty of Bodega Bay as the graceful gray whale makes its annual parade from December through May. The Bodega Head State Park offers one of the best vantage points for viewing the migration; all you need to do is throw down a blanket and watch the spectacular show.

For a little more action along the waterfront, head to The Links at Bodega Harbour and enjoy a challenging round of Scottish-style links play. Running along the Sonoma County Coast, the course combines breathtaking beauty, undulating greens, and native coastal rough into an all-around amazing package.

Looking for even more excitement outside of your Bodega Bay vacation rental? Head to Tides Wharf to watch the fishing fleets unload their bounty, or revel in the family fun that abounds at Doran Regional Park. There are also some interesting fairs and festivals in Sonoma County throughout the year, such as the Fisherman’s Festival in April, so keep your eyes peeled for an exciting event.
