Bodega Bay
From the busy harbor here, commercial boats pursue fish and Dungeness crab. There's nothing quaint about this working town without a center—it's just a string of businesses along several miles of Highway 1. But some tourists still come to see where Alfred Hitchcock shot The Birds in 1962. The buildings that appeared in the movie are long gone, but in nearby Bodega you can find Potter Schoolhouse and the Tides Wharf complex, which was an important, if no longer unrecognizable, location used for the movie.
