Overview
Sonoma Coast State Beach is actually a series of beaches separated by rocky bluffs and headlands extending 17 miles from Bodega Head to Vista Point north of Jenner. As with all north coast beaches, swimming is not advised, and sudden ground swells and heavy surf can make even beach-combing hazardous. Snowy Plover protective measures are enforced. Developed camping and picnic areas are available at Bodega Dunes, located along Highway One about 1 mile north of Bodega Bay. Some accessible features may be affected by service reductions. Please visit the Sonoma Coast State Park main page or phone (707) 875-3483 prior to visiting the park for more information.
