I took this picture from the bluff edge near the #Montara Lighthouse, looking north. In the far distance, you can see Mount #Tamalpais on the Marin side of the Golden Gate. The #cove and #beach you see are accessible via a short trail, but watch out for the tide coming in.

A large patch of #AfricanLilies just north of #Montara, CA. These #flowers are native to South Africa, and the ones you see here in the wild are cultivated specimens that have escaped from gardens and that are thriving in our coastal areas.

A #Signpost near the #Montara #Lighthouse.

A #WorldCitiesDistanceSign near #MontaraLighhouse in San Mateo County, CA. This is an older picture, and the sign is now mostly obscured by shrubbery. The sign post may also have been moved to a slightly different location - it's hard to tell.

#GrayWhaleCove is located between #DevilsSlide and #Montara. #Nudists like hanging out there and often " #birdwatchers " fall off the bluffs above and need to be rescued or recovered, depending on their state.

The sign near the gate to the #MontaraLight #lighthouse in #Montara, CA. Even the sign is in a decrepit state with the top of the lighthouse model missing. The entrance to the property is right next to Highway 1. Blink and you'll miss it. The sign is visible only if you are driving north.

#PointMontaraLight is a #lighthouse in #Montara, CA. Situated by and overlooking a small, accessible cove, it is a great whale-watching location. The light has deteriorated over the last 5 years. No fee is charged to enter the premises after you sign an electronic waiver at the gate.
