So I went in search of the beach with the blow holes. Turns out they're in Crescent Beach (I think that's it).

Very cool rock formations. I've got to head back there at high tide.

1)


2)


3) Cell phone shot of my setup (as meager as it was):



4) This one in color:


5) In black and white with some grain. Not sure which one I like better:


This is a very cool beach. I plan to explore it more. I was there with my wife and kids as well as my buddy and his girlfriend so they don't have the patience I do for this sort of thing. I wanted to explore more of the beach and different angles. I'll be back there for sure!

We'll see if the powers-that-be allow me to keep these photos up here without taking them down (without an explanation).

Good pictures. There's a similar beach down near Jupiter - Blowing Rocks. Here's a picture:

I'd heard something about this place. Would love to make it down that way at some point.

Is where you took the pics at a specific beach access? Always heard of the area but never made it down to see the beach line there.

PS. The pictures are great!

Don't know exactly where GadgetRick went. But - IIRC - when I went there - I got to the beach through Washington Oaks Gardens State Park:

Go South on A1A. Once you pass Marine Land (not very far--maybe a couple of hundred yards), you'll see a big parking lot on your left and there's a wooden walkway on top of the sand berm towards the beach. Park there and that's the start of the rocks.

Great shots by this photog. I need to get an ND filter so I can do some long exposure shots...something I've been meaning to do.

I also plan to go back there again when the tide is in.

I love those shots, Rick. Crescent Beach is not often mentioned on this forum but it is one of the nicest beaches around.
