Windsurfing in Bodega Bay

July 31st, 2010 | Category: Bodega Bay Activities, Bodega Bay Weather

Bodega Bay is a very popular area for windsurfing….there is easy parking and access entry across from the Post Office and the Dog House, right off Highway One. Here’s a map of the access point for Windsurfing in Bodega Bay.

Kitesurfing is also very popular. The winds usually come up in the early afternoon and will be consistent for the rest of the day. Here’s a great video I just ran across, you’ll actually see the front of “At the Bay’s Edge” in the video as the windsurfers take runs in front of our Bodega Bay Vacation Rental.

Wildlife in Bodega Bay

July 6th, 2010 | Category: Wildlife in Bodega Bay

Heron in Bodega BayI love watching the heron fishing in front of the house, and wanted to share some recent photos with you. Typically, they’re here during low tide, along with the sandpipers. I love their focus and intensity.

Many people are surprised to learn that Bodega Bay is one of the best birding spots in all of Sonoma County. Here’s the Madrone Audobon Society’s overview, by season, of Birding in Bodega Bay.

I’ve also posted additional photos of heron fishing in front of the house in our Facebook Photo Album on Wildlife in Bodega Bay. Enjoy!

Great Video of Bodega Bay Wildlife

June 9th, 2010 | Category: Wildlife in Bodega Bay

I wanted to share this great time lapse video of the wildlife in Bodega Bay. It looks like it was taken right by “At the Bay’s Edge” as this is the experience you will have when you stay here. You will enjoy seeing seals, cormorants, heron, seagulls, brown pelicans, white pelicans, and even rays.

Many people don’t realize that Bodega Bay is one of the best places in Sonoma County for bird watching.

Enjoy!
