This has been one of the coolest views to see of a beach, and the cliffs were gorgeous!! Don’t expect to swim at this specific location, but it is part of the 17 mile drive that will make an amazing adventure!

One of the most photographed places in the world. I went on a weekend. Difficult to find parking on weekends/long weekends. Restrooms not available.

Views along the famous 17 mile drive. Yes you must pay a fee to enter this private drive and yes, it is worth it. Slow life down, take the drive, stop often and enjoy this special region. The famous lone cyprus tree on the point is an excellent ( and over photographed) location for a stop. There is a reason this spot is famous.

A little challenge to take a good picture with the fence in front. But understand why it is done. Beautiful
