Sonoma Coast State Park, California state park in Sonoma County, US
The park extends for 17 miles along the Pacific Ocean coastline, featuring rocky bluffs, sandy beaches, and hidden coves between Bodega Bay and Jenner.
The Coast Miwok and Pomo tribes first inhabited this coastal area, with archaeological discoveries of kitchen middens dating back to pre-1849 settlements.
The park incorporates educational programs focused on marine life conservation, coastal ecology, and the geological characteristics of Northern California's shoreline.
Multiple access points along Highway 1 connect to hiking trails, beaches, and camping facilities, with Bodega Dunes offering 99 developed campsites with modern amenities.
The marine terrace elevation of 50 to 100 feet above sea level creates distinctive geological formations, experiencing continuous erosion of up to three feet annually.
