You’ll find this letterbox at the Birdwalk Coastal Access, south of Bodega Bay along Highway 1. [The entrance is just north of Doran park and will be on your left immediately after N. Harbour Drive on your right.] You’ll need to pay a day use fee to park in the lot (or bring your current Sonoma County Regional Parks pass). To avoid the fee, you can try to park along the wide shoulder just north of the park entrance. Either way, follow the nearest path up a slight grade to the walking trail and turn to the right (heading north).

As the trail curves toward the West, you’ll notice a view of Bodega Bay on your right. Shortly thereafter, a bench and trail will appear on your left. Disregard these and continue walking straight ahead. You’ll pass another bench and a picnic table on your left as the trail now heads in a southerly direction. Continue until you see Colette’s bench on your left. She invites you to sit for a moment and enjoy the view of the ocean on your left and bay on your right. When you’re ready, continue in the same direction, giving a nod to Kaylin, Jon and Sidney. Keep your eye out for snowy egrets. Say hello to Deborah and Chris whose bench faces a bridge. Stay on the path. You’re now walking in an easterly direction. Notice the path on your right and follow it down to the bridge.

At the entrance to the bridge, stand facing West and pause to reflect not once but twice. In between reflections, look down upon the rocks next to the wooden border. You’ll find the box to the right of the upright support. Watch out for stickers. Replace the box and rocks when done.
