The coolest thing about visiting Bean Hollow State Beach is the rock formations. These rocks, called tafoni, are created by rock weathering processes. Salt water hits the rocks and eventually evaporates into salt. The salt is absorbed into the rock and overtime creates these little holes. The holes grow larger over time through wind, rain, and water and trap pebbles to create the pictures you see below! Two things to do here are: Nature Trail and Pebble Beach. Eat your lunch here, snap a few pics, and enjoy the view.
