Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach, Oregon. The green face of the rock is where the Tufted Puffins have their burrows. Not many such rocks have sufficient soil on them so that these birds can dig burrows.
This was taken at high tide and "only" about 100 meters of sand to the water. At low tide, the water withdraws so that about half the bottom of the rock is exposed.
For this photo I was standing more or less in the front yard where I saw the Red Crossbills. Not a bad view. - but windy. (Alas, I saw no Plovers running around in the grass on the beach.)
