Boyes Hot Springs, CA

Boyes Hot Springs is a Sonoma Valley census-designated place named for the geothermal springs below it. In the early and mid-20th century, Boyes Hot Springs, El Verano, Fetters Hot Springs, and Agua Caliente drew visitors from San Francisco and beyond as health retreats. That resort past still gives the area a distinctive backstory, even though modern Boyes Hot Springs is more residential and local-serving. It sits within Sonoma Valley Unified School District and remains tied to hot springs history, wine-country tourism, and the broader Sonoma area.
