About South Salmon Creek Beach in Bodega Bay, California
South Salmon Creek Beach is between Bodega Dunes and Salmon Creek just north of the town of Bodega Bay. To get to the parking lot for South Salmon Creek Beach, just turn west onto Bean Avenue on the south side of the bridge over the creek. At the end of the road is a parking lot in some trees just behind the dunes near the beach. The best part of South Salmon Creek Beach is north of the parking lot where a wide sand spit sits between the creek and the ocean. The popular North Salmon Creek Beach is across the creek which at times during the year is just a lagoon with no exit through the sand. Birds and seals sometimes congregate at the Salmon Creek spit. Walking south from the parking lot leads to a long sandy beach in front of the area known as Bodega Dunes. Out there you’ll find lots of solitude. The Salmon Creek Beaches are part of Sonoma Coast State Park. Surfers hit the waves here when conditions are right, but it’s dangerous to swim in this area.
