Coastal promontory with dramatic surf-carved rock, tide pools and panoramic views of the Monterey Bay and Point Año Nuevo. Excellent for coastal landscape, long exposures and intimate tide-pool detail. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side light; sunset offers silhouettes. Small parking lot off Highway 1, short walk to viewpoints; check tides and sea conditions. No entry fee; modest cliff trails can be windy and slippery—wear sturdy shoes.
