I'm sorry to add another picture to Location Scout for this site but rather than give another picture of the postcard shot I thought to add a photo on the other side of this amazing geological formation. It is to the north and still shows the amazing sedimentation and the ocean but just with a different view.

Photography Tips

Arrive early and don't forget your polarizer to add saturation and give blue to the sky. Try to come at high tide for the maximum seas and wave action on the rocks. In the morning the sun will be off your right shoulder for good front lighting.

Travel Information

Plenty of parking and a short walk to the formation. Do the complete walk around for multiple shots though try to arrive as early as possible as this is a very popular tourist destination.
