Jagged Rocks before Point Bonita Lighthouse
@uwo
The steep, jagged cliffs on either side of the paths at this location create a symmetrical view leading to an epic large pointed rock. The small beach below the cliffs with the waves crashing on them emit soothing sounds to the surrounding area. To the left you have a incredible view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
