Jane – there are lots of great coastal towns in Sonoma County. The Wildflour Bakery in Freestone offers some great organic breads. I would also recommend tasting at Freestone Vineyards (next door) and stopping by Osmosis Day Spa (across the street) for a relaxing walk around there Zen Garden. If you continue on the Bohemian Highway you will end up in Occidental a great artist hamlet. The Inn at Occidental or Negri’s offers great accommodations and the town has great stores & restaurants (Howards for breakfast is my favorite). Take Coleman Valley Rd. out of Occidental for a real treat! The road will take you straight to Highway 1. When you reach highway 1 turn left to go through the Town of Bodega Bay or turn right to head up the coast to Jenner. My favorite beach is Goat Rock State Beach just north of Jenner. Great places to stay along the coast are: River’s End, Timber Cove Inn, Inn at the Tides, Bodega Bay Lodge & Spa & Sonoma Coast Villa. Feel free to call our visitor information line for more ideas at 800576-6662.

I don’t know how I found your website, but I love it! We are moving to Sacto & I’m visiting in two weeks, instead of going to San Fran., I’ve decided I’d rather drive to Sonoma County and find an area we can walk the beach (not hikers) and then figure out which town in Sonoma county we want to stay over night at – any suggestions….love fresh bakery, great coffee & unique shops/arts
