Dip your toes in to the waters off Monterey and you instantly enter a world with strange creatures. Starfish, sand crabs, sea urchins, abalone, and sand dollars can all be found here. Then throw in dolphins, sea lions, and the occasional whale just beyond the rocks and you have a stunning place to shoot. Take care on the rocks. I've heard some sailor talk from photographers who's camera were eaten alive by the rocks and sea. Still, a wonderful place to visit or film. It's one of California's best kept secrets. Shhhhhh!!!!
