This alien-like landscape on the shores of Mendocino County is one of the most bizarre landscapes in California. Here, you will find dozens of sandstone rocks perfectly round and smooth, just like bowling balls. If the tide is high, you likely will not be able to see them at all, but once it rolls out, the entire shore is dotted with these unique rock formations.
