Bodega Bay Visitor Center

This Review is about Bodega Bay, OVER ALL, great little town. awesome food… But Bodega Bay has a MAJOR PROBLEM … The Locals HATE (as they call it) WEEKENDERS … how do i know, a few different locals told me… really sad. they feel as if vacationers have no respect and have Ruined there hidden gem of a town. been coming here for years… will not be back EVER AGAIN… sorry we came to spend money in your town… :(

This is a review on Bodega Bay itself not the Visitor Center. Definitely, come and check out this bay if you’re in Sonoma County. We came here for V-​Day weekend and we enjoyed walking around and taking in the sceneries.

Bodega Bay… close enough to be convenient, yet far enough from SF to feel like you’ve gone away.
Unlike the Santa Cruz visitor center, this one actually has a small area to park your car. Since a lot of Bodega Bay now looks nothing like in the film The Birds, this is a good place to play tourist and get some free local maps and a ton of local restaurant and hotel brochures even if you have a GPS.
The maps are helpful because many of the small buildings in the movie were actually sets and those that weren’t sets were old wooden buildings that either rotted away or were destroyed by fire over the years. Even then, some interesting places from the film still exist today.
The person who assisted me last time was really helpful and great with directions too. The visitor center is the perfect place to start a fun visit to Bodega Bay.
