Nice coastal community at the north end of the lagoon formed by the Doran beach spit. Known for scenes of Alfred Hitchckock's "Birds" movie filmed here and in the inland town of Bodega.

Long Peninsula jutting straight south, creating a protected lagoon. The road has great views, a wide shoulder, and is relatively quiet as it only has sightseeing cars driving to the dead-end parking/turn around.
