Before reaching the coast, make sure you've entered your destination in your GPS. Service can be very spotty, especially as you get closer to Jenner.

It's a good idea to pick up your favorite snacks, drinks, and toiletries in Santa Rosa or San Francisco — the options in and around Jenner are very limited.

Departing from SF, you’ll drive inland through Marin County along the 101 and transition to farm roads once you hit Petaluma. You have a few fantastic options for lunch along this route in Marin, including Hook Fish Co, In N Out, or RH Rooftop if you’re feeling fancy. If you like beer, stop at the iconic Lagunitas Brewing or Henhouse.

For a funky ‘locals only’ experience, stop for a long lunch at Rocker Oysterfellers in Valley Ford - or grab-and-go at Valley Ford Creamery.

Once you get to the scenic coastal roads, you’ll pass through Bodega Bay where there’s a great little winery called Sonoma Coast Vineyards.

If you drive Highway 1 all the way up from SF, there are endless amazing stops along the way! We recommend stopping in Point Reyes Station for lunch, where you have several great options like Brickmaiden Breads and Side Street Kitchen.

Whatever you do, don’t miss the buffalo milk gelato at Palace Market. They have a great sandwich bar, too!

For a unique local experience, we also recommend stopping at Heidrun Meadery to try some honey and sparkling mead.

You’ll also pass through Marshall, which has great oyster and seafood options like The Marshall Store or Hog Island Oyster (reservations are required here, but you can always try your luck!)
