Sightseeing
Goat Rock Beach: This large beach is bordered by the mouth of the Russian River to the north and Goat Rock to the south. Bring a picnic and take in the views from the picnic tables, explore the Kortum hiking trail and view (from a distance of at least 50 meters) the seals that hang out here in spring and summer.

A former Russian colony from 1812, the Fort Ross State Historic Park offers a bit of history on the California coast. In fact, the 4th graders at my kids’ school stay at Fort Ross after learning about Russian and Californian history. They pretend to be fishermen, cooks, guards, etc. to act out the roles that Russian settlers would have had at the fort. The park’s cliff-top 3200 acres include original wooden structures, an antique canon and the visitor center with interpretive presentations.

One of our favorite things to do on the coast is the hike at Bodega Head, especially on a sunny day. The easy path follows the cliffs, going up before leveling off with a view of Point Reyes in the distance. If you bring kids, be especially careful because there’s no barrier between the path and the cliff’s edge, and leave some time for them to climb around inside the huge cypress tree on the way back to the parking lot. Then stop at the harbor for lunch.

Sonoma Coast Beaches
Our beaches are not swimming beaches. There are some rough waves out there with horrific undertows. Please don't let your loved ones swim or play close to the waves as sneaker waves have pulled people into the water with disastrous results. Be safe.
