Overview

Explore the untamed beauty of California's north coast on this self-paced audio walking tour of Bodega Head, with spectacular surf, views of passing whales and hillsides of seasonal superblooms on the edge of the continent. This 60-minute loop takes you along panoramic viewpoints atop cliffs carved by endless waves, as California naturalist Stephen Nett shares stories about the Head’s remarkable life and rich past. Discover incredible biodiversity, from migratory birds on the Pacific Flyway to coastal wildflowers that comb moisture from the mist. Learn how Coast Miwok people thrived here for 8,000 years, see the San Andreas fault, and visit the water-filled "Hole in the Head". Discover how Russian potatoes, spawning salmon and generations of native and migrant families built the tiny fishing port at Spud Point. By tour's end, you'll understand how this protected peninsula reflects the entire California story in one remarkable place.
