Overview

Explore the untamed beauty of California's north coast on this self-guided audio tour of Bodega Head, where you'll discover what the wild shoreline was like long ago. Starting at the Bodega Bay Trailhead, this 60-minute loop takes you to panoramic viewpoints where the San Andreas Fault has shaped dramatic cliffs above endless surf. As a California naturalist, Stephen Nett, shares stories about the area's incredible biodiversity, from migratory birds on the Pacific Flyway to coastal wildflowers that comb moisture from the mist. You'll learn how Coast Miwok people thrived here for 8,000 years, visit the water-filled "Hole in the Head" where citizens defeated plans for a nuclear plant in the 1960s, and discover how Russian potatoes and spawning salmon built the tiny fishing village at Spud Point. By tour's end, you'll understand how this protected peninsula reflects the entire California story in one remarkable place, where ever-changing vistas create an unforgettable coastal experience.
