Located off Highway 1

The spirit of Bodega Bay, served over picture perfect views and ocean breeze.

Three experiences in one unique location — a seafood cafe, a coffee shop, and a curated gift shop. Everything at The Birds is a tribute to our wild Pacific home, and to the Hitchcock film that put this little harbor on the map.

Pulled off Highway 1 on a whim and ended up staying two hours. The BBQ oysters and the patio view alone are worth the drive from the city.

Best clam chowder on the Sonoma Coast — and the counter staff was so welcoming. Picked up fudge from the gift shop on the way out.

We stopped for coffee, stayed for lunch. Lobster roll was excellent. Easy parking right off the highway and the soft serve sealed it.
