I think it takes a special type person who can live under the conditions that spell Bodega Bay. Still, I, one who needs the bright sun in order to function, was drawn to the foggy, windswept, yet layback feel. I didn't want to leave.
I got accustomed to going over to Bodega Head to see if the cliffs were visible - they usually weren't. And to the "other" side of the bay to see if the white pelicans were out lazing on the water. And to hearing the distant lonesome sound of the fog horn.
Bodega Bay is an inlet of the Pacific Ocean. It's situated north of Point Reyes and south of the Sonoma coast. The town Bodega is five miles to the south.
Several locations in Bodega and Bodega Bay were used in the filming of Alfred Hitchcock's movie, "The Birds."
