Bodega Bay and Sonoma County
Bodega Bay is associated with Sonoma County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Bodega Bay by land and water
The Census records 4.15 square miles of water within Bodega Bay, or 33.2% of its total area. It is 22.3 percentage points higher than the 10.9% recorded for Sonoma County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Bodega Bay CDP has 7.5 times the land area of nearby Salmon Creek CDP (1.11 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
