It’s a great time of year to go kayaking…the water in the mornings is usually perfectly still. You can kayak in the bay or go sea kayaking. Either way, there’s plenty of wildlife and lots to see. This picture is of one of our guests kayaking right in front of “At the Bay’s Edge”.
Some of our guests bring their own kayaks, or you can rent one at Bodega Bay Kayak. Have Fun!
Horseback riding is very popular in Bodega Bay and throughout the Sonoma Coast.
Chanslor Ranch is one of the most popular stables, and is only a few miles from “At the Bay’s Edge”. They offer trail rides and beach rides, as part of a group or for a private party. They also offer pony rides and riding lessons…so there’s definitely something for everyone. Have fun!
There are 10 Farmers Markets within an hour of “At the Bay’s Edge”….3 of the markets run all year long and the remainder are seasonal. Many of our guests enjoy stopping by the
market(s) before or during their stay.
They’re all great markets and it’s exciting to see so much coming into season now!
There are dozens of wineries within easy driving distance of “At the Bay’s Edge”…many guests stay here and spend several days just touring the wine country! Here’s a great map of the local area wineries. Enjoy!
Safari West is only an hour from “At the Bay’s Edge”. Located amongst 400 acres in the heart of the wine country, Safari West is home for over 400 exotic mammals and birds. Safari West is a wildlife preserve where the animals roam free and the whole family can experience these animals in their natural habitat. Tours are offered in an authentic safari vehicle three times a day in the spring and summer months, twice a day during the winter. Take your binoculars and camera and enjoy this incredible experience!
It was an overcast day but everyone was in a festive mood for the 33rd annual Fisherman’s Festival….we had a party here “At the Bay’s Edge” to watch the parade of boats go by. The fishermen celebrate the opening of salmon season by decorating their boats and then going out to sea for the official blessing of the fleet. The festival ran through the weekend and also included arts, crafts, music, food, and entertainment. Great fun was had by all.

One of our guests just commented how much they enjoyed watching Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” this weekend…they hadn’t realized that it was filmed right here in Bodega Bay!
Here’s some great pictures of what Bodega Bay looked like at the time “The Birds” was filmed.
“The Birds” is in both of the rentals here ‘At the Bay’s Edge’ for you to enjoy… it’s fun to go back in time!
I’ve just finished a new activities page that highlights some favorite things to do and see within an hour’s drive of At the Bay’s Edge. I’ve also included a new activities calendar that lists activities going on by date. There’s plenty to do and see within the Sonoma County area….or there’s plenty of quiet at the house to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the view!
When the tide is out in the winter it leaves such a beautiful flat beach….and we can walk further along the beaches than at any other time of year.
Here’s a great resource that lists all the beaches in Sonoma County that are close to “At the Bay’s Edge”. Enjoy!
