Bodega Bay is a small shallow, sand-choked inlet of the Pacific Ocean on the coast of northern California in the United States. It is approximately 5 miles (8 km) across and is located approximately 40 miles (64 km) northwest of San Francisco and 30 miles (48 km) west of our home in Petaluma. The bay straddles the boundary between Sonoma (north) and Marin (south) counties.
