Alamere Falls in Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California is a rare "tidefall", a waterfall that flows directly into the ocean. It is one of only two in the continental USA.
Alamere's main falls tumble 40 ft (12 m) over fragile shale cliffs at Alamere Creek Beach. Upstream there are the upper Alamere Falls that consist of 3 separate cascades between 20 and 30 feet in height. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamere_Falls

Hiking

Great water falls.
There are several, if you climb up the first one.

Hiking

If you're planning to climb down to the foot of the falls, you will need to cross the river at the upper falls. Jumping over isn't easy when the water is high; bring waterproof shoes and wear light clothing that can quickly air-dry in case you don't make it over.
