Visiting Bodega Bay offers you the opportunity to spend a California vacation doing a whole lot of awesome activities such as fishing on the Coast where you can go after the big ones such as Salmon, Halibut, Rock Cod, Ling Cod, Sport Crabbing & Whale watching. 

The beaches of the area offer a wide expanse of sand at Salmon Creek which is where the creek meets the ocean.  Surfers find this one of the best places to catch a wave, kids like the sport for skim-boarding, and the youngest can splash in the calm waveless waters of the creek.  Just north of Bodega Bay on Hwy 1.

Old Town Eureka is proud to be able to offer a chance for visitors to see the Wooden Sculpture Garden of Romano Gabriel. 

A little bit about the creator: Romano Gabriel, a carpenter and gardener, took 30 years of his life to make the hundreds of brilliant and arresting objects he placed in front of his home on Pine Street in Eureka.  Gabriel fashioned his brightly painted trees and flowers out of vegetable crates, adding droll faces and figures to create a fantasy for the delight of all that view his work.

California Wine Trails

northern california wine trail map.jpgThere are thousands of wineries in California, way too many to list individually so I have asked the owners of a great site - www.winecountrygetaway.com to allow me to place their site in conjunction with ours to provide you with a wide range of places to visit with insider information on what their thoughts are and to give you suggestions.

California Beach Weddings

Having bonfires on the beach is somewhat of a state passion in California. Everyone does it. Teenagers do it to sneak away with their friends and drink beer. Their parents do it to catch up with old friends or have family outings. It is legal in many California beaches, and tolerated on most of the rest of them. As long as you are willing to keep your bonfire contained and take precautions to make sure that it doesn’t become a runaway forest fire, the Rangers will be happy to let you have it.
