McWay Falls dropping 80 feet onto an unreachable cove beach
More
McWay Falls' 80-foot drop onto sand exists because a 1983 landslide built the beach — the cove is closed to entry, making the overlook the whole show. The Ewoldsen Trail climbs through old-growth redwoods; offshore is one of the state's first marine reserves.
