Head over the the Bodega Head and take in spectacular views of the coast. If you're hungry, be sure to stop at Spud Point Crab Company for crab sandwiches and chowder, the best on the Sonoma coast!
The Barlow

Dillon Beach
On the top of Buckley's favorite places in the world, Dillon Beach is must for a nice stroll along the water. One of the only dog-friendly beaches on the Sonoma Coast, Dillon Beach is always busy with furry friends. Pro tip: Go before 9:00am and parking is free, between 9:00am-5:00pm parking is $10.

One of Ryan and Katy's favorite places to run, Willow Creek has miles of trails that offer the right mix of stunning views and challenging terrain.
Ragle Ranch Park
Where Ryan grew up playing soccer as a kid is now one of Katy's favorite places to get in a few miles. On the far side of the regional park you'll find ~3miles of unpaved trails that wind through meadows and wetlands. Pro tip: parking is $7, but you can park on Ragle Rd on the edge of the park and walk in for free.
