Oh, you know me--I go looking for reflections, but Montara is a long sandy beach not far south of San Francisco with views on the horizon of passing fishing boats and ships. The extreme north end of the beach is edged by cliffs and has a feeling of seclusion, even with Highway 1 just above.

Photographers need to get here EARLY for the best reflective conditions.

Only in Winter and for a short bit of Spring does this creek flow.

Stunning Don.
I am really taken with the second shot. Love the curl of the wave in the distance too.
