A Crystal-Clear Pinnacle 💎

Crystal Rock is a large pinnacle that just breaks the surface at low tide. Topographically, it resembles an underwater mountain, with steep slopes plunging into the depths and a central "saddle" connecting two peaks. The site is a magnet for marine life due to the strong currents that bring nutrient-rich water.
