Drakes Bay Beach
United States / California
Location ID: #999-12979
A perfect substitute for the White Cliffs of Dover!
This is a wide stretch of beach backed by dramatic white sandstone cliffs. The sands of the Drakes Bay cliffs were deposited in a shallow sea 10–13 million years ago, compacted, then uplifted. Erosion has revealed the striations of this story in the cliff faces.
