McWay Falls is an 80-foot-tall waterfall on the coast of Big Sur in central California that flows year-round from McWay Creek in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, about 37 miles south of Carmel, into the Pacific Ocean. It is a tidefall, a waterfall that empties directly into the ocean, A relatively rare thing, there are only approximately 25 tidefalls found across the globe. There are only six in all of North America. McWay Falls, shown here, is one of two found in California, the other being Alamere Falls.
Davenport Cove is locally known by several different names including Shark Fin Cove and Shark Tooth Beach because of the huge rock in the mouth of the cove that looks like a shark fin or tooth depending on where you are standing. When you see the fin coming out of the water, you will quickly realize where it got its name and will be transported into a magical world where things like this actually exist. This is a sandy beach in a small deep cove south of the town of Davenport. Another unique feature of this beach is the large rock arch tunnel that you can walk into. At low tide you can get all the way through it. On the way into the cove there is an old mining tunnel that looks like a deep cave.
