Natural Bridges State Park
Sitting under a sea cave with my little one at Shark Fin Cove. A picturesque beach with stunning views of Northern California's stunning coastal landscape. During low tide, you can explore all kinds of sea creatures in the tide pools and if you're lucky, you can spot humpback whales during their migration season. There is a small parking lot by a discontinued railroad track where you can park your car and walk across to the beach entrance. It can be a bit steep and slippery at times so wear good shoes! #Adventure #beautifulplaces #familytime #memories #discoveries #exploring #withchildren #nature #outdoors #lanscape #northerncalifornia #beaches #usa #sharkfincove #davenport #santacruz
