"As you venture away from cities and towns the twisty road will open to pastures along the river side.
Grazing cows and cawing birds dot the verdant scape and wide, naked headlands open to big skies.
Beyond - an island of pennies, the rocks of goats and dunes of lolling seals.
This is a world of greens, blues and mythic views - the echoes of siren songs.
At the end of the scenic route is our crescent sliver of a town.Welcome to Jenner By The Sea - a place of magical and piercing beauty."

Enjoy Jenner
At the northern terminus of Goat Rock Beach is the mouth of the Russian River, and the southern end of this crescent shaped expanse is the massive Goat Rock, an iconic outcrop of the Sonoma Coast, which is barely attached to the mainland by a narrow isthmus.
The beach is also a regular resting ground for a variety of gulls (including Western Gull, California Gull, and Ring Billed Gull), river otters, elephant seals, harbor seals, and sea lions, with the latter three species often hauling out of the Pacific Ocean.
Eat lunch or dinner at River’s End Restaurant & Inn. Enjoy coffee and pastries at Cafe Aquatica by the Russian River.
