What a GEM! Jack London is California’s first native born novelist and this State Park is a chance to walk in his footsteps and appreciate his creativity and uniqueness. From the self-guided walking tours of Wolf House, the Beauty Ranch, and his cottage to the more extensive hikes up to London and Fern Lakes, is truly a walk back into the early 1900s. Unfortunately due to Covid the museum house was closed, and a return trip when it’s open is a must. I never tire of this State Park and the history it contains. Always include a picnic lunch to enjoy on property.
3. Sonoma Coast State Beach

A state park and beach recommended for fishing, walking and picnicking.
Reviewed By pfefmeister - San Francisco, United States
The stretch from Bodega Bay to Jenner is spectacular, as the road hugs the coastline, highlighted by sea stacks, coves, and endless vistas. Plenty of pull outs for beach stops, with many outfitted with picnic tables to relax and watch the ocean. Take your pick of the beaches, and spend the day in one of the most beautiful places on earth. And, if you are lucky, you could catch a whale or two in season. Just a great place.

This was the birth of California, full of history and social activities. Whether you want to have a picnic in the park, tour the historic mission, do some wine tasting, have a delicious lunch or dinner at one of the unique restaurants or do some interesting shopping, it's all in The Square.
5. Sebastiani Theatre

Reviewed By 14hannon - Sonoma, United States
Completed in 1934, the theater, rocking an Italian Renaissance style, was designed by famous architect James W. Reid, who also designed the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. Movies and other events are still presented here. For its day, it offered the innovation of air conditioning. To my taste, this is one of the most interesting buildings on the Plaza. The never blinking Trixe seems to offer tickets from the classic ticket booth at the entrance 24/7. Definitely worth a walk by, plan to check out the inside for a show if you get a chance.

7. California Missions Museum at Cline Cellars

Reviewed By TomHAntioch_CA - Vallejo, United States
I'll admit it, I'm a California History buff and have been since my first CA history classes in grade school decades ago. I always visit the missions if I am stopping in my travels in CA and one is nearby. We had been to Cline Cellars several times before I realized they had this museum there. I really didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised to find great models and fantastic written information following the steps of the padres as the missions were founded and moved north. If you have an interest in mission history; if you are in the area, stop by and take some time to walk the tour inside this small museum. And please, drop a few lire in the donation box so that they can keep this great piece of California history going.

Fantastic local park providing a range of trails for any level. Fully paved or slightly more off the beaten path this park is a great place to truly enjoy the natural beauty of Sonoma. Also for those with dogs the fenced in off-leash dog park is a must.
