Doran Regional Park, Beach and regional park in Bodega Bay, United States
Description
Doran Regional Park stretches along the Bodega Bay with a broad sandy beach and a sheltered harbor on its shores. The grounds feature different zones for visitors and are lined with native coastal plants.
History
The land was once owned by rancher William Doran and was converted into a county park in 1967. This transformation marked the beginning of its use as a public recreation area for the community.
Culture
The coastal area served as a resource-rich territory for Coast Miwok and Pomo peoples who gathered food and materials from the land and sea.
Practical
Visitors will find camping areas with basic facilities such as toilets and showers distributed across different sections. The beach is easily accessible and offers plenty of space for relaxing, walking, and water activities.
Did you know?
The south-facing position of the beach creates gentler wave conditions compared to other stretches of the Sonoma Coast. This makes it particularly suitable for beginners and families with children.
