This is a beautiful beach, ocean picture that I am trying to identify. I hope someone can help me figure this mystery out.

Are you sure this is an actual place and not a work of Photoshop? Where did the image come from?

I do not know the exact location of this beach, but the plant in the foreground is almost sureCarpobrotus edulis, or 'Ice Plant'. very common EVERYWHERE although it is native of south Africa - You can find it in the Mediterranean area California and all the US east coast , Indonesia etc .. But If I would have to venture a WILD guess based on the rock formation - I would say the Mediterranean ( even a small island ) or western Europe coast - But that`s just a wild guess

@LightnessRacesinOrbit The only obvious fakeness to me is that the colour saturation has been pumped up to crazy levels. Do you have any particular reason to believe it's fake?

Whether or not this image represents a real location, there are several artefacts of image manipulation visible. In the top right there are interrupted lines visible. They resemble power lines to me, but either way, they have been clearly manipulated.
In addition, this error level detection algorithm shows high levels of manipulation in some areas, little manipulation in others.
As a result, I think it's fair to conclude that this is, as is, not a real location.

While I cannot identify the specific beach, that area looks very much like the California coast, especially the Devil's Slide section just south of San Francisco, in its ruggedness and the presence of the ice-plants, the whited rock, the fog, and the road (which would be Route 1) running along the cliff.
(Wikipedia photo of Devil's Slide)
The landscape in your picture is considerable greener than Northern California ever gets, but if you like dramatic cliffscapes, this is the place to visit.
Edit: Hahaha. Other people have identified your beach as Gray Whale Cove State Beach, which means it is about 20 feet south of the bottom edge of the photo I selected, more or less at random, to illustrate what the coast looks like. The promontory in the midground of the original picture is in the foreground (at high tide) in mine.

While I cannot identify the specific beach, that area looks very much like the California coast, especially the Devil's Slide section just south of San Francisco, in its ruggedness and the presence of the ice-plants, the whited rock, the fog, and the road (which would be Route 1) running along the cliff.

The landscape in your picture is considerable greener than Northern California ever gets, but if you like dramatic cliffscapes, this is the place to visit.
Edit: Hahaha. Other people have identified your beach as Gray Whale Cove State Beach, which means it is about 20 feet south of the bottom edge of the photo I selected, more or less at random, to illustrate what the coast looks like.

I do not know the exact location of this beach, but the plant in the foreground is almost sure
Carpobrotus edulis, or 'Ice Plant'. very common EVERYWHERE although it is native of south Africa - You can find it in the Mediterranean area California and all the US east coast , Indonesia etc .. But If I would have to venture a WILD guess based on the rock formation - I would say the Mediterranean ( even a small island ) or western Europe coast - But that`s just a wild guess– Obmerk Kronen
