Private & Secluded,but also PRECARIOUS!!  

The Oceanfront Chalet has a (seasonal) 45 foot waterfall. What other location has their very own cascade? 

The only thing is - it's very hard to get to, especially to take equipment - but it can be done and the shots one can achieve are worth it! 

Proceed with Caution! 

The waterfall normally has a lovely effect, but when it rains it really rushes down the rocks!

The trail is a rocky and sometimes steep descent.  One could also take a short (and highly picturesque) boat ride from the Trinidad marina over with crew and equipment.  

A LITTLE KNOWN FACT ABOUT SEA STACKS

Who would think we might have a National Monument, right here on the North Coast?Just look at the gorgeous coastline that stretches out in front of us. This area is rich in geological history and biological resources. The rocks dotting Trinidad Bay are now part of California Coastal National Monument (CCNM).The Bureau of Land Management manages the CCNM, a network of over 20,000 small islands, exposed reefs, rocks and pinnacles spanning California's entire 1100 mile coastline.Sea Stacks: Hard rocks of the old coastThis is the view of the sea stacks from the Pirate's Cove, Oceanfront Chalet's private beach. 

Large masses of land are continually slumping into the ocean. The slow moving landslides, or earth flows, are a mixture of sediments from soft clay to hard rock. Like Rocky Road ice cream left in the hot sun, wave energy melts the softer sediments away, leaving behind large, chunky rocks. Many of the rocks you see close to shore were deposited from earth flows.
