It is a way full of unexpected surprises along the west
coast of United State. We begin our road trip from San Francisco. We drove all
the way down to Big Sur and up Highway 1. This massive rock which visible from
the highway stands guard over a small cove full of geologic wonders just up the
coast from Santa Cruz, only 0.7 miles south of the town of Davenport. Shark Fin
Cove, this beach is most certainly a cove, however, and it’s fun to imagine the
size of shark lurking beneath a fin of that size.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years ago the shark fin was
an extension of the mudstone cliff that encloses this beach. Over the years,
the force of the crashing waves and whistling winds steadily eroded away the
rock in a process called coastal geomorphology.
The rock now stands as we see it today: A small island that
catches the light at sunset so compellingly that photographers travel from all
over the country to capture its timeless beauty. Indeed, this is geology at its
finest that I had never ever imagine before.

It just requires some hikes, not even 5 minutes into the cove. It's slippery and steep but not that bad. Just watch out of your steps then it shouldn't be a problem. We seen three couples taking their wedding photos over here and you can now imagine how beautiful it is. This place is very famous for sunset viewing and it's like a secret little beach which is quite hidden and not many people. Thus you can enjoy your little moment here!
If Pacific Grove Coast Highway is your next road trip plan, must ensure you stop by this hidden place to witness the beauty of it!
