Hippo Rock
Hippo Rock is a sculpted coastal outcrop at Montara State Beach resembling a hippo head—ideal for intimate seascapes, rock textures, and dramatic surf action. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light; low tide exposes more foreground interest. Short walk from roadside parking; accessible but can be slippery. Popular with locals—visit weekdays for fewer people.
