The Wave is Shooting Through a Small Hole in the Rock
I've posted a couple times about Bowing Rocks before. This is from a January 2024 trip there. This was close to high tide, but not one of the bigger ones.

Root Loop is a blue trail in the Camp Murphy trails in Jonathan Dickinson State Park. This used to be a harder black trail due to the palmetto bush roots crossing the trail. They are more buried by the sand now and not as hard as they used to be.
