McWay Falls

[John Holland]

Down the coast from Monterey, California (along Highway 1 – Pacific Coast Highway), is a place called McWay Falls – inside the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. Here you will find McWay Creek feeding McWay Falls, and ending on the beach in a nice protected cove (conveniently call McWay Cove). No, I do not know who McWay was.

There is no access to the beach (and it is not allowed anyway). While I was there waiting for the sunset, a couple really big wave came in and the swamped the rocks in the middle of the cove.

Now there's a spectacular spot and I like that they do not permit access. It would lose so much.

Lovely place, but where are the falls?

Jump!

Fine shot of a fine place.

Thank you for the comments, Gentlemen. Ivar, the "Falls" is a singular waterfall in the upper left corner (not a very large one at that).

Rob, the sudden stop at the bottom is a problem (making the water is a problem).

And there's a law against littering that beach - we wouldn't want you (or your next of kin) to get into any trouble!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Pete is right, we would not. But a fine dive into the water could be spectacular and a fine selfie too, I believe

Does look a nice wee spot think it would look just as nice in B+W John

Jump!

Rob, I hope you do not work at a crisis hot-line.

I'll take a look at a B&W version.
