    Or you can smudge it a bit. Too late for me, but I was already resigned to not guessing it until I zoomed in on that bit.

    The design is what is called a devils bridge, and the architecture leans toward Italy.

    The Ponte Del Diavolo Bridge in Cividale del Friuli, Udine, Northern Italy.

    To narrow things down, it is North America, west coast. Look at the picture carefully. There are a few clues to help in it.

    I think it would be too much to ask of non natives to identify the particular beach, so just guess the general vicinity:

    Wasn't too easy, was a bit of luck I'd say. I just recognized the type of sign and did some googling. It's very important for the threatened loggerhead sea-turtles, who come to nest there
