El Granada King Tide Event (Part 2)

On the 15th December 2024, my parents and I went to the King Tide event in El Granada, CA near Half Moon Bay, CA. We viewed the event from Maverick's Beach in El Granada, CA. I was able to take many photos of sunset, dusk, the extreme low tide, and the tide pools. I took photos with my Olympus mirrorless camera, and the photos are split into 2 posts. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!
