Things To Do
Bodega Bay Trailhead
This lookout point is a wonderful area for hikes, whale watching, and great views of the pacific ocean!

This is a great spot for crab sandwiches and clam chowder.
Salmon Creek State Beach
One of our favorite beaches.
Patrick's of Bodega Bay
The salt water taffy here is amazing. You can't miss the pink and white strips on the drive in to Bodega Bay!
Fisherman's Cove
Some more amazing food here. We love the fish and chips and fish tacos!
Visit Locations from Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"
The small, one-block town of Bodega is 4 miles inland from Bodega Bay and includes locations from the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds." The Potter schoolhouse and St. Teresa of Avila Church are the two buildings used in "The Birds" and were also featured in the opening credits of the 1968 musical "Finian's Rainbow," which starred Fred Astaire and Petula Clark. There are other filming locations from "The Birds" located in Bodega Bay as well!
Casino Bar & Grill
Casino is located in the neighboring town of Bodega and has a casual, small-town vibe. There are local chefs who make nightly locally-grown dinners and the food is wonderful!
The Birds Cafe
This cafe is located right behind our venue and in the center of Bodega Bay.
The Barlow
The Barlow is a large outdoor market in Sebastopol, which is about 30 minutes inland from Bodega Bay. They have plenty of shops, local beer and wine, restaurants, and events. We really loved visiting this area!
Terrapin Creek
We had a delicious meal here to celebrate Jessica's 25th birthday. All of the food was great!
Cafe Aquatica
Just a ways north from Bodega Bay is this coastal cafe that has coffee and organic/gluten free/vegan food.
