We were hoping to see Bowling Ball Beach, where the beach is scattered with perfectly round rocks, that are created through a process called concretion (where layers of sedimentary rock slowly accumulate around a hard and compact central core, then erode away). To get there, you have to hike along the beach from Schooner Gulch State Beach during low tide. Unfortunately, when we got to Schooner Gulch it was high tide and we couldn't get to the spot we wanted. But we did come across this amazing rock formation that looks almost like the rib from some super-sized prehistoric monster.
