The nicest of the damned.
Notably SANDMAN was originally marketed as just another "Mature Readers" DC Universe book.

Walking near the Pacific Ocean is often not the most challenging hiking but it is very pretty.

One of the weird things about Sobranes Canyon is the presence of cacti -- apparently they may have been introduced by the Spanish.

Hole-in-the-Wall, the destination of the hike (so much as a stroll on the beach is a "hike"), is a natural rock arch formed from erosion. It was low tide so I could walk right through.

There's also really good tidepooling at Hole-in-the-Wall.

There's a cool sea stack formation just at the shoreline (probably offshore at high tide) that look like shark teeth.

There's a lot of driftwood on Rialto Beach due to all of the storms.

After returning to my rental car, I headed to Rialto Beach.
