JOMO is real, and I found it on California’s rugged Bodega Bay coast
I took a trip to Bodega Bay. Here's why it's my favorite destination ever!
Sarah Joseph at Bodega Bay, CA

JOMO, also known as the joy of missing out, is the feeling of contentment that you get from deliberately opting out of social events, trends, or other activities. Unlike FOMO (fear of missing out), which causes anxiety over missing out on experiences, JOMO embraces the freedom of saying “no” to social pressures. This is exactly what I experienced on my recent trip to Bodega Bay, courtesy of Sonoma County Tourism, where I was able to escape the obligations of everyday life and reconnect with nature. From start to finish, the entire experience was magical. Here's a full recap of my visit, as well as some top recommendations on things to do in Bodega Bay while you're there.
Stay at The Lodge at Bodega Bay

The Lodge at Bodega Bay is a luxury hotel that was voted the #1 hotel in Northern California and the #1 hotel in the world in the 2024 Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, and after going there myself, there’s no doubt about it. With stunning views of the ocean, top-tier amenities, and spotless modern rooms, The Lodge is easily among the top five hotels I’ve ever visited.
