Moonstone Beach County Park
Park
👍👍 I am a local flying dress photographer for "Diamond Memories" in Eureka and I absolutely love shooting and spending time at Moonstone Beach. It is gorgeous and is often full of families and dogs. Lots of rocks to play on and caves to explore. You often see people repelling or surfing as well!
