West-facing beaches with golden hour potential and evening access.
Doran Beach inside Bodega Bay offers gentle beach break waves ideal for beginners. The outer reefs protect the bay from larger swells, so waves are usually small, but occasional NW swells can produce fun, rippable peaks.
Short walk across the dunes to the water; watch out for bird nesting areas.
