Bodega Harbor

Bodega Harbor is a public beach on the California coast, about half a mile from the town of Bodega Bay. Restrooms are available, and there is no fee to visit. Weather here stays cool all year. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs in the mid-50s from December through February, with lows around 45°F and about 11 wet days a month. Spring brings little warming, with highs near 57°F in March and April, though rain tapers off from 13 wet days in March to 8 in April. Summer is the driest stretch, with about four wet days a month from June through September. Highs climb from 61°F in June to 63°F in August. September is typically the warmest month, averaging a high of 66°F and a low of 51°F. October still averages 62°F with six wet days, a good shoulder-season option before November cools to 59°F and the wetter winter pattern returns. Several outings lie within easy reach. Access Trail and Bluff Trail are each about 2.6 miles away, and Ridge Trail is about 2.8 miles out. For paddling, Estero Americano is roughly 7.3 miles from the beach.
