The village of Bodega Bay sits along the eastern side of the harbor. Geologically the harbor is formed by a depression of the San Andreas Fault.
Southwest of Bodega Harbor is the University of California's Bodega Marine Lab on Horseshoe Cove. Bodega Harbor is a good location for access to Cordell Bank, Tomales Bay, and the Farallon Islands. The University of California maintains a marine biology study in the mud flats along the southwestern corner of the harbor." (
