Geology

Stillwater Cove is shielded from northwesterly winds, facing southward along the California coast.

It has a favorable geographical location which lets only large winter northwest swells propagate into the cove's repaired environment, refracting around Pescadero Point.

The cove's depth ranges from ~9 m to ~14 m, while the region directly surrounding the Pescadero rocks is ~12 m deep.

Stillwater Cove has been declared by the California Coastal Commission an “Area of Special Biological Significance”. [1]

Some scenes of the 1947 film The Ghost and Mrs. Muir were filmed at the cove.
