The Tides Restaurant and Fish Market – Still a Main Bodega Bay Attraction

July 25th, 2009 | Category: Restaurants in Bodega Bay & the Sonoma Coast

The Tides Restaurant in Bodega Bay is still a perennial favorite. The Tides was featured in the original Hitchcock movie “The Birds“, and it is currently a popular restaurant, it has a retail seafood market (so you can buy your own seafood and cook it “At the Bay’s Edge, or eat there!) and has a fun gift store. Make sure and stop in when you’re visiting Bodega Bay!

Ran across this video of the Sonoma Coast and wanted to share it. All of these Bodega Bay beaches are just moments from “At the Bay’s Edge”….some dramatic, some calm, all wonderfully inspiring. Enjoy!

Best Take Out Pizza in Bodega Bay!

July 17th, 2009 | Category: Restaurants in Bodega Bay & the Sonoma Coast

You wouldn’t think a general store would have great take out pizza, but we love pizza from Diekmann’s Grocery in Bodega Bay. They make all their pizzas from scratch with all fresh ingredients and you can really taste the difference. We’re not alone, their pizzas are wildly popular here in town. I love their garlic chicken and their vegetarian deluxe! Yum!

Diekmann’s Deli is just a short walk from “At the Bay’s Edge” and is actually an old-fashioned general / store and market. It has quite a rich history in Bodega Bay and carries everything from groceries, to fishing tackle, to camping supplies, beer, wine, deli sandwiches, firewood, and of course, fabulous pizza!

Enjoying Oysters in Tomales Bay

July 2nd, 2009 | Category: Local Activites and Events, Restaurants in Bodega Bay & the Sonoma Coast

I had company in town for a week….they live in Phoenix so when they come out to visit they love to eat fresh seafood. We went to the Tomales Bay Oyster Company, Hog Island Oyster Company, of course Tony’s Seafood for their BBQ’d oysters. We brought bags of oysters home each day, and ate some there as well. Whew! Always love oysters, but think I’ll take a break from them for awhile.

All three are located along the water in Tomales Bay on Highway 1, just 20 minutes from “At the Bay’s Edge”. It’s a scenic drive and a lot of fun to be in the beauty of Tomales Bay while enjoying great food and great friends!

Audio Tour of Petaluma

June 15th, 2009 | Category: Local Activites and Events

Just discovered this wonderful audio tour of Petaluma! Petaluma is just 1/2 hour away from “At the Bay’s Edge”, and many travel through on their way to the coast. Petaluma is a wonderfully historical town full of Victorian mansions, antique shops, a downtown area that is along the river front, a theatre and opera house, and even a row of outlet stores just outside of downtown Petaluma! There’s something for everyone! Enjoy!

White Pelicans Are Back in Bodega Bay!

June 2nd, 2009 | Category: Wildlife in Bodega Bay

Finally, the white pelicans are back…I’ve missed them! They usually swim in large groups in front of “At the Bay’s Edge” at low tide….they’re dunkers as opposed to divers like the brown pelicans. They’re also much bigger than the brown pelicans….takes them a bit longer to get airborne as well!
