Salmon Creek Artwalk November 7-8, 2009

November 3rd, 2009 | Category: Activities, Local Activites and Events


The Salmon Creek Artwalk is one of my favorites….as local and guest artists open their studios in Salmon Creek (just a mile north of Bodega Bay) to highlight a variety of art including sculpture, painting, wearable art, photography, stained glass, and copper.

The Salmon Creek Artwalk was established in 2001 and has become an anticipated Sonoma Coast art event. Take this opportunity to enjoy the artists work, and stroll through the unique town of Salmon Creek, and enjoy the Salmon Creek beach as well!

Enjoy!

Rocker Oysterfellers in Valley Ford, CA

October 18th, 2009 | Category: Restaurants in Bodega Bay & the Sonoma Coast

Rocker Oysterfellers in Valley Ford, CA is just 15 minutes from “At the Bay’s Edge”, in between Petaluma and Bodega Bay in Valley Ford. It’s like an upscale saloon, and always a good time. Their food is both delicious and diverse….with (of course) oysters, clams and seafood playing a starring role, but they also have wonderful ribs, pulled pork, and jalapeno cornbread (not to be missed). I love living in Sonoma County….the food is just so delicious and diverse! Enjoy!

White Pelicans – A Must-See For Your Bodega Bay Vacation!

October 5th, 2009 | Category: Videos, Wildlife in Bodega Bay

I know I’ve written about the White Pelicans here a lot….and with good reason, they’re so unique and beautiful to watch. I put together a collage of photos that I took and made a video to show you some of my best shots. I love watching them, they’re “dunkers” not divers like the brown pelicans. They glide swiftly across the water, and travel in large flocks, though they separate out to feed in smaller groups of 2-3. Anyway, enjoy the pictures and come see them for yourself!

Doran Beach in Bodega Bay

October 2nd, 2009 | Category: Local Activites and Events, Wildlife in Bodega Bay

Doran Beach is one of my favorites…for so many reasons. Here’s a picture from the south end of the beach, it’s at a medium tide so we couldn’t walk into the rocks. At lower tides it’s fun to explore all the nooks and crannies. But either way, it’s always beautiful. There are 2 miles of flat beach in a horseshoe shape. It’s very popular because it’s easy to access for surfers, kayakers, kiteflyers, horseback riding, walking, jogging, or just beachcombing.

Bodega Head – Where Bodega Harbour Meets the Pacific

September 25th, 2009 | Category: Bodega Bay Activities

Just saw a great aerial photograph of Bodega Head that I wanted to share.

Bodega Head is just a 5 minute drive from “At the Bay’s Edge” and is named for the the rocky headland that forms the entrance into Bodega Harbor. The jetty along the harbour side is very popular for crabbing and clamming, and the ocean side is very popular for hiking and biking. It’s also a fun place to just enjoy the truly spectacular blufftop views. It’s a popular spot for watching the sunset, as well as the gray whales.
