Bird Walk Coastal Access Trail

The Bird Walk Coastal Access Trail offers those interested in viewing wildlife a unique opportunity to see a new side of Bodega Bay.

The Sonoma County Regional Parks Department has revitalized a saltwater marsh adjacent to the Bird Walk that is home to thousands of birds throughout the year.

The Bird Walk Coastal Access contains 1.19 miles of trail that circles two ponds and offers coastal views along with excellent birding opportunities.

After a brief rise from the parking lot, this gentle trail system has a gravel surface that is moderately accessible to wheelchairs. The Cheney Creek Bridge Trail connects Birdwalk Coastal Access to Doran Regional Park.

Access to the park is either from the parking lot, located off Hwy 1 at the south end of the town of Bodega Bay, or at the southern trailhead, located at the northeastern boundary of Doran Beach Park.

Dogs are permitted on a leash and must be licensed.
