Tafoni (18 images)
If Salvador Dali designed a beach, this is what it would look like. Sandstone gouged and etched, pockmarked and punctuated with tiny little-finger-sized indents, bigger holes then drooping, dripping caverns big as both your fists with room to spare. Tafoni formations at Bean Hollow State Beach, south of San Francisco, on California's Central Coast.
