Bodega
Bay San Francisco Day Trip
|
Bodega
Bay is about a 65 mile drive north
of San francisco. Travel time will take about two hours depending
on traffic conditions. The little town of Bodega Bay offers shopping,
hotels and restaurants. If you looking for a romantic trip up
the coast Bodega Bay could just be the place. For kids there is
not a whole lot to do except run around on the beaches. For couples
this is a great place to get away from the big city and enjoy
each others company. The Alfred Hitchcock thriller "The Birds"
was filmed in Bodega Bay so be sure to remind your partner about
the movie as the sun sets and the sea birds come in to roost.
Bodega Bay is probably the best bird spotting place Sonoma County.
More rare birds are spotted here than in any other area. Lets
hope the birds stay calm and do not disturb the tourist coming
up from San Francisco. The coast from Bodega Bay to Goat Rock
is state property and beaches are public. There are several hiking
trails or you can rent a kayak and paddle around the bay. Surfing
is popular here but the water is extremely cold and often rough.
Shopping includes a couple of art galleries and the famous candy
and kites store. |
