This location is easily one of the most photogenic beaches in California and even has a waterfall. The best part is how easily accessible it is!

The featured image is of McWay Cove, McWay Beach and the McWay Falls. I took the photograph from the McWay Waterfall Trail on the northside of the beach. You should be able to find free parking along Highway 1. From there it’s about a 5 minute walk along the marked trail to the viewpoint.
