Girl, 13, rescued from steep beach rock but ‘enjoyed’ the helicopter ride to safety

Sonoma County Sheriff’s crew on Wednesday morning rescued a 13-year-old girl who got stuck on a steep rock at Doran Beach, south of Bodega Bay.

A sheriff’s helicopter, Bodega Bay FIre and a Coast Guard motor lifeboat were dispatched to the southern end of the beach for the rescue as her parents looked on. Using a long line hoisted from the belly of the chopper, a paramedic was lowered to the victim. She was flown a short distance to the top of the bluff “and was (in) great spirits,” according to a sheriff’s office Facebook post. “She even admitted she enjoyed the ride.”
