Photo location of the week: Salt Point State Park, Sonoma County, California

Salt Point State Park, Sonoma County, California(2 hours north of San Francisco on Highway 1)

When you park in the main lot, you have no idea that you have entered another world until you walk to the shoreline. There you will see the most incredible coastal rock formations that I have ever seen in person or in photos. You can also access it via Stump Beach 2 miles north and walk across the beach and out to the point. Photography here is difficult because of the extreme weather and winter surf, but it is so worth it! High tide with large waves are best for capturing the surf close to the sandstone formations. But that is when the wind is most difficult. Don't get too close or you will be swept to sea, never to return!
