Inspired by the title of a Tuck & Patti song, this spot, McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, reminds me of the sheer beauty to be experienced here on earth.

This delicately arranged beach cove, complete with an 80-ft waterfall is utterly enchanting. The aqua water really is that color, no foolin'! I arrived here just as the sun was setting and caught the last bit of golden light on the cliff faces.
