If you go south from Eureka, then take highway 211 to Ferndale, and turn left at the sign for Capetown (watch carefully or you’ll miss it), you’ll be on an un-numbered road that will eventually bring you to this view of the ocean. It’s worth the trip.

What an incredible shot. I love the speckled effect of the white caps on the water and the flowers by the road; and the island seems to be in motion, appearing into view.
