Bonny Doon

  BONNY DOON CA

Bonny Doon is an unincorporated community in the U.S. state of California northwest of Santa Cruz. It was founded in the 1850s as a logging camp. John Burns, a Scotsman living in Santa Cruz, named Bonny Doon after a line in Robert Burns' song "The Banks O' Doon" ("Ye banks and braes o'bonnie Doon..."). Bonny Doon is located in Santa Cruz County. Bonny Doon has no "city center" or shops, but features several wineries, a church, two fire stations, a lavender farm, Bonny Doon Elementary School and a private-use airport. A nude beach of the same name is nearby. Evidence of 2,600 years of occupation by Native Americans has been found in the area.
