A coastal rock formation with a dramatic sea-carved cave under Cathedral Rocks. Photographers can chase moody ocean textures, spray, and deep shadows inside the cave during swell. Best light is around sunrise (cool, directional) or late afternoon (side-lit cliffs). Expect tides to control water visibility; stairs/uneven ground require careful footing. Free access from the nearby viewpoint; park in local lots along Cliff Dr (then walk).
