Doran Regional Park, Beach and regional park in Bodega Bay, United States
Doran Regional Park extends along two miles of coastline, offering a sandy beach with direct access to Bodega Bay and a protected harbor.
The land belonged to rancher William Doran in the 1940s before its transformation into a county park established in 1967.
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.
The park maintains 120 campsites divided into five areas - Shell, Gull, Cove, Jetty, and Miwok - with facilities including flush toilets and coin-operated showers.
The south-facing position of the beach creates gentler wave conditions compared to other beaches along the Sonoma Coast, making it suitable for water activities.
