Purple Beach Paradise Collection

Sunbeams and crashing waves pierce through the arch at Pfieffer Beach as the foaming surf overtakes the otherworldly purple sand streaks. Tiny silhouettes of children can be seen playing in the ocean, soaking in the last few drops of another perfect California beach day. This photograph was captured by Jessica Lerner at Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California on her birthday, October 23rd, 2021.
