Route 1 to Point Arena, CA
A quiet morning in Bodega Bay turns into a full day along California’s Highway 1, heading north toward Point Arena. With stops for coffee, coastal views, and a few hours at Manchester State Park, this stretch of road proves to be less about the destination and more about slowing down and taking in the landscape along the way.
Bodega Bay, CA
What started as a quick stop at Bodega Head turned into a full day on the cliffs. Between the wildflowers, coastal views, shifting light, and even a sheriff’s helicopter training exercise, this stretch of coastline delivered far more than expected. It felt like a reset after a rough month and a reminder of why I’m out here in the first place.
