This portion of the shore is not open to the public, so I'm fortunate to have access to it via a very kind member of a Coast Guard family in residence there. The shore is really pounded by the ocean, being right on the tip of the point, so large boulders (known as "rip rap") have been put down to slow the erosion. There are substantial colonies of endangered Brown Pelicans here, and they frequently cruise past with their wingtips just clearing the waves. 6" X 8", oil/canvas panel. Sold, private collection.
