This photo of wildflowers was taken on a cliffside at Shark Fin Cove, a famous roadside overlook about 15 miles north from downtown Santa Cruz. The best way to get there is by car driving along Cabrillo Highway (Highway 1). Park at the Shark Fin Cove Parking Lot and make your way down the path towards the GPS coordinates. You'll be walking along the northside of the cove. Keep an eye out for wild flowers and explore the coastline!
