Bean Hollow Beach has to be one of my favorite beaches along the Pacific Coast Highway. Along with huge crashing waves, tide pools and aquatic plants, Bean Hollow State Beach has some of the best examples of tafoni formations I’ve ever seen.
Tafoni are tiny groupings of holes or caves inside porous rock like sandstone. You can see the tafoni all around Bean Hollow and this specific shot was taken near the pebble beach area just north of the main parking lot.
