This is the area for going after the pelicans, great place. With the right wind they land right into you with the sun directly at your back !! Not sure what is going on with the area, they wanted to keep the photographers behind the fence you see at the right.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

We had a good time Arash. Wind was good but the birds were landing on the lower cliffs, still one spectacular place !!! ... btw the beach a little further down just in the bg was also incredible, the golden light reflected was spectacular, can't wait to go back !!!

The restriction goes back years and they want to keep people away from the bluff and cliff edges. When I was a kid we used to jump off the cliffs there all summer. Now things are regulated for "our own food".

Here is a link on the history of jumping off the clam and when and why it was made illegal.
