When you arrive in this heavenly cove you'll see that it's not a very huge spot on the map. But, that's totally fine--it feels a lot bigger because of the seaside rocks jutting high above and tucking you inside.

Which time of day would you love to meet up with the ocean? Are you a morning glory or a night owl? Either way, it's a win-win here.

Wildlife abounds around this cove. One beach-lover recently came face to face with this little guy. He's sunning himself on the sand and probably thanking God he's in Northern California.

The rocks are easy to climb and the sand has very few footprints. When you know a beach is as lovely as this you go quickly and you go often.

This fancy couple are having the time of their lives. I'm a HUGE dog lover, but remember, dogs MUST be on a leash. I'm pretty sure a pooch won't mind at all, not with this kind of paradisal spot.

Trying to come up with the perfect spot to pop the big question? Or, maybe you're celebrating an odd-number anniversary...take your best friend here. Then share your gratefulness of a life lived together and make plans and dreams. You've got the perfect backdrop here.
