Bodega Head is a small promontory on the Pacific coast of northern California. It is located approximately 40 mi (64 km) northwest of San Francisco. The peninsula, which is approximately 4 mi long and 1 mi wide, emerges from the coast to the south. It shelters the shallow sandy Bodega Bay and the inner portion known as Bodega Harbor. This peninsula is considered a prime spot to observe the migration of whales. It is also one of the three points of the Red Triangle, a major feeding ground for great white sharks.
Doran Regional Park was once part of a ranch owned by William (Billy) Doran, who lived on a low hill just above the outer bay and south of the park. During World War II, the government took control of the bay portion of Doran Ranch through eminent domain to create a safe harbor for rescue operations and constructed the jetties at the mouth of the harbor with locally quarried rock. After the war, the land eventually passed to the County and the beach was established as a formal park in the late 1960s.
