Hiking Trail

Easy

165 ft
A breathtaking journey round a famous headland

Beginning at the Bodega Head parking area, the Bodega Head Trail winds its way along the rugged coastline of Bodega Bay, providing panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. The trailhead is easily accessible from Highway 1, and as you set off on the Bodega Head Trail, you'll be immersed in the natural beauty of the Sonoma Coast, with its dramatic cliffs, crashing waves, and abundant wildlife.

One of the highlights of the Bodega Head Trail is the opportunity to observe a variety of seabirds and marine life along the shoreline. Keep your eyes peeled for seabirds and even migrating whales during certain times of the year.

The trail is relatively easy and suitable for hikers of all ages and abilities, with a flat and well-maintained pathway that is accessible year-round, weather depending.

As you reach the tip of Bodega Head, you'll be rewarded with stunning views of Bodega Bay, the surrounding coastline, and beyond. This scenic overlook is a perfect spot to pause, take photos, and soak in the beauty of the Sonoma Coast. Written by Charlie Boscoe
