The image was taken on a cliff above Monarch Beach, looking west onto the Pacific Ocean. To get to this location, I recommend driving and then parking in the Salt Creek Beach parking lot (33.477176, -117.719191). Exit the parking lot on foot and cross over Ritz Carlton Dr. When you reach the "Under the Sea Art," take a right. Head west and then take the first left. Follow the path until you reach the GPS coordinates of where I stood to take the image.
