We spent Thanksgiving near there... lovely place, but not a forgiving ocean... cold and very rough waters.

I recall a story similar to this in the news where two newlyweds were taking pictures next to the California shoreline and either one or both of them got washed out to sea.  The ocean can be calming or killing sadly.
