a view of the ocean from a cliff overlooking the ocean

(High-angle shot + Sunset lighting) A high-angle view of waves crashing against the rugged cliffs along Big Sur's Garay Point Beach. The water, a deep blue with white-tipped waves, creates a dynamic contrast with the rocky shore. The setting sun casts a warm, golden light over the scene, highlighting the textures of the cliffs and the lush green shrubbery at the edge. In the distance, a small island with a lighthouse is visible, while the road winds down toward the beach, adding a sense of depth and scale to the picturesque landscape.
