Description:

Although you can visit this stunning place any time of the year, you only have a short window of opportunity to see its best feature in its full glory. The Keyhole Arch is named for a strange sandstone formation sitting right in the middle of the beach. End of December to mid-January, the sun will cast a golden ray of light through the keyhole of this formation casting a single, perfectly formed ray of light across the sand. Don't forget to bring a heavy coat and gloves to this event - winter can be windy and chilly in this region.
