Formed by long-term sea erosion, the layered rock formations, cliff edges, and open ocean views create a rugged coastal landscape that is especially beautiful at sunrise. It is a favorite stop for photographers, solo travelers, and visitors looking for a quiet nature experience away from the busier beaches.
