Cover photo description:
The McWay Falls. The waterfall can be seen to the left, In 1983, Big Sur experienced one of the wettest years on record. Up to this time, McWay Falls fell directly into the ocean, The huge rainfall resulted in an extremely large mudslide immediately north of Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park on March 1, Highway 1 was closed for a year while the road was repaired. Reconstruction deposited 2,300,000 cubic metres of landslide material into the ocean. Wave action transported some of the debris south to the cove around McWay Falls, forming a sandy beach where none had existed, The fall is only one of two in California which flow directly into the ocean, waterfall mcwayfalls california adventure nature scenic coast bigsur iphonephotography photooftheday blue ocean moments wow waterfall droneshot sand beach forest clouds highwayl paradise colours idyllic trip contast pacific
