Cannery Row Municipal Beach, Monterey

This beach was spectacular. In addition to having great waves, it also had spectacular rocks. Sharp and Glazer in their book Geology Underfoot in Southern California, state that the rock outcrop found on this beach, San Onofre breccia, is probably one of the most spectacular outcrops on the Southern California coast. Based on that we decided to stop. We were not disappointed.
