Bodega Bay is a fishing village fifty miles north of San Francisco. It is the site of the first Russian structures built in California, erected in 1809 by the Russian-American Company prior to the establishment of Fort Ross. The village is also the location of scenes for The Birds, a 1963 suspense/horror film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, loosely based on the 1952 story by Daphne du Maurier. The film features the screen debut of Tippi Hedren who continues to visit Bodega Bay to meet fans of the film. The hamlets of Bodega and Valley Ford are just a few miles inland from the coast.
Bodega Head offers visitors excellent vantage points for the viewing of migrating whales. The University of California-Davis, Bodega Bay Marine Laboratory is located on Bodega Head and is dedicated to understanding environmental processes at the land-sea interface on California′s North Coast which is an area known for the productivity and diversity of its marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
