Porto Bodega Marina & RV Park

On our way back from Santa Rosa yesterday we took a look at the local golf course, The Links at Bodega Harbor. Many of the holes are on the water (the ocean side and not the harbor) while the others are intertwined among homes. Looks like it might be a fun course to play. The slope and rating from the white tees is 67.9/119. I need to make sure that I always carry our clubs – I know better than to keep my clubs home. We then took a tour of Doran Beach and it turns out that there is a nice Sonoma County Park with 128 dry camp sites. It appears that many of these sites will accommodate large rigs. Next time we swing up this way again we’re going to try our hand at dry camping. It has a beautifully sandy beach on the ocean side and the bay on the other side. The width of the park at this point is probably less than a 100 yards and there aren’t too many bad sites that we could see. There is a jetty that protects the bay and I saw many fishermen trying their luck. I might join them tomorrow.

Today we journeyed out for a leisurely bike ride to the other side of Bodega Bay. We heard that Spud Point has a hole in the wall restaurant with the best clam ‘chowda’ in Bodega Bay. We chose to have lunch there but not before we biked out to Bodega Point Head to work up an appetite. The fresh Dungeness crab sandwich with a large bowl of chowda hit the spot and was worth the wait even though it was a bit pricey. The prices around here, not in the RV Park, are in my opinion higher than they should be. Maybe they think that since they’re just north of Frisco they can command these prices but I for one don’t think so.
