USA Garrapata State Park
Garrapata State Park is a spectacular shoreline area at the northern end of Big Sur. Trails lead up steep mountains, through redwoods, and along the rugged coast. At the far southern end of the park is a sandy beach, but extremely hazardous surf makes it far too dangerous even for wading.
Photography Tips
Wide Angle lens is best. Tripod recommended
