Bodega Head, Coastal promontory and summit in Sonoma County, United States.
The granite cliffs of Bodega Head rise 265 feet above the Pacific Ocean, forming a protective barrier along the California coastline.
The formation of Bodega Head dates back millions of years when volcanic activity pushed granite outcrops through the surrounding rock formations.
The coastal area holds significance for Native American tribes who established seasonal settlements near the promontory for fishing and gathering activities.
Multiple hiking paths connect the parking area to observation points, offering opportunities to spot gray whales migrating between December and April.
The geological composition of Bodega Head includes fragments from the Pacific Plate, differing from surrounding areas along the North American continental edge.
