Doran Regional Park, Beach and regional park in Bodega Bay, United States

Doran Regional Park is a beach and regional park in Bodega Bay, on the Sonoma Coast of Northern California, sitting on a narrow spit of land between the open ocean and a coastal lagoon. One side faces a long sandy beach open to the sea, while the other borders a calmer, sheltered shoreline along the harbor.

The park occupies part of the ranch of William (Billy) Doran, who lived on a low hill above the outer bay south of the site. During World War II the government took the bay portion by eminent domain to create a safe harbor for rescue operations and built the harbor-mouth jetties from locally quarried rock. The land later passed to Sonoma County, and the beach became a formal park in the late 1960s. The Coast Guard Station Bodega Bay stands within the park boundaries.

The park's cultural life centres on its campgrounds: Shell, Gull and Cove are bordered by Bodega Harbor, while Jetty sits between harbor and beach. The 120 pet-friendly sites for tents, trailers and RVs have potable water, fire rings and picnic tables, with flush toilets and showers nearby. Sea lions can sometimes be heard barking offshore.

Camping is year-round across 120 pet-friendly sites for tents, trailers and RVs, with potable water, fire rings and picnic tables; flush toilets and showers stand nearby. Shell, Gull and Cove campgrounds border Bodega Harbor, while Jetty campground lies between harbor and beach. The Coast Guard station at Bodega Bay sits within the park boundaries.

The spit that the park sits on acts as a natural windbreak, so the harbor side of the park often stays calm even when strong northwest winds hit the ocean-facing beach. This means visitors can shift from one side to the other depending on the conditions of the day.
