Had a wonderful trail ride with the owner, Sarah Beth. She paired my boyfriend and I with two awesome horses, Shorty and Calamity Jane. Had a beautiful 90 minute ride on the Old School trail. The scenery was so pretty, and the ride very relaxing. Couple of spots where we went down mildly steep parts of the trail, and Sarah Beth told us exactly how to sit on the horses, and we let the horses do their thing. All the horses are clearly well cared for, and many are rescue horses. Horses are paired with their riders based on your size and ability. Sarah Beth's border collie, Rucus, came with us, which just added to the experience. We would come back here in a heartbeat! Great for families and new riders as well. The staff was very attentive to a little girl going on her first ride on another trail, and they were very reassuring before she even got on the horse.

THIS OUTFIT ROCKS...! IF YOU WANT an incredible experience and fish in the box, Go with these guys...! Locals that know their stuff, Hardened and experienced. Seasoned fisherman will be satisfied beyond doubt with their knowledge and drive to pull for you to the last minute to fill the box under any conditions as they did for us! With their Love for fishing, Josh and Peter, will cordially teach newbies to be expert Salmon Slayers and Affeciandos by the end of the trip! After years of consistent fishing with many boats here and in SF, my wife and I were totally impressed with them providing a huge bag of ice to preserve our bounty of limits for our return trip home! In 45 years of fishing for salmon, nobody has ever provided that for us! Extremely impressive and caring on their part! If you want a GREAT TIME and a memorable experience, then you will not be disappointed fishing with Josh and Pete. Go for it.. Life is short especially in these weird times. The only problem you will have is that they are so popular that they can take a limited number of people at a time and they don't get very many cancellations. Took me a year to get to fish with this bunch and every minute with them was worth it!

A rugged and recommended whale-watching promontory along the California coast.
Reviewed By robertinSJ - San Jose, United States
It’s an easy hike along the top of cliffs with beautiful views of Bodega Bay, the coastline and the tip of Point Reyes Seashore. You need to stop and enjoy the views, there are seals(?) on rocks offshore and swimming, deer grazing and lots of birds. We visited on a windy day and the wind watery strong. Not a hike to rush through, you need to linger.

Challenging windsurfing beach located in Bodega Bay.
Reviewed By FCT3 - Davis, United States
This is a great beach. It is easily accessible and gives a great view of Bodega Bay, the Pacific Ocean, and the surrounding landscape. The beach is long and the waves are pretty gentle. You can bring your dog, you can surf, or you can just stroll along the flat sand.

The Bodega Head Ride is a very low traffic road with large bicycle lanes in both directions. It is a 4 mile one way ride along the bay the entire time ending at the beautiful Bodega Head State Park. There are three other parks, a restaurant and UC Davis's Bodega Marine Laboratory to visit along the way. This is a perfect ride for every weather condition also. A great and affordable way to experience Bodega Bay. There is a full service Bicycle Shop with rentals at the beginning of the ride. Have Fun!

Great ride, part on the road and then up into the headlands to Bodega Head. Suggest starting at Ginocchio’s Barbeque. Pretty flat road road with not too much traffic around the inlet and then winding up to Bodega Head. Can get pretty windy up there but if you go on a nice days the views are memorable. Single track shared use paths up on the top take you around. I don’t know maybe 12 miles round trip. Nice!
