San Onofre CA

Just off ‘The 5′, one of the busiest highways in the United States, between Los Angeles and San Diego, lies this little piece of natural serenity. By the time you make your way down the spectacular cliffs, the sounds of traffic and the highway and the business of of life have all vanished. You might be lucky to see one other guy walking his dog in the golden light of sunset.
