North Salmon Creek Beach in Bodega Bay offers a beautiful, relatively calm beach setting with a unique creek inlet. The beach features stunning views, abundant driftwood, and tide pools, creating a picturesque atmosphere. While stairs and trails lead down to the sand, the beach provides a balance of accessibility and a less crowded experience compared to other California beaches, though outhouses serve as the primary restroom facility.
