About Duncans Landing in Bodega Bay, California

Duncan’s Landing is located about half-way between Bodega Bay and Jenner along the Sonoma County coastline. The landing has many names associated with it including Duncans Cove, Duncans Point, Duncans Landing, and even “Death Rock” a name earned for the powerful waves that crash onto the point and have swept people off to their deaths.

The beach in Duncans Cove is just south of the landing and is somewhat protected by it, but the cold water will be enough to keep you from swimming here.

The large sandy beach on the north side of Duncans Landing is Wright’s Beach. To get down to the beach in Duncans Cove requires a hike down a steep trail from the parking area on the landing or another parking lot along Highway 1 just south of the landing entrance. This area is part of Sonoma Coast State Park.
