They did mention using a special lens for the shot. It took a couple tries to get the shot as fog would roll in before sunset.

I've pretty much pinpointed the site, based on which direction they had to shoot in face the sun. All the development in the area hasn't affected the breakwater, although it may have had more rocks added since 1970.

It's a matter of finding someone to go out there with me at this point, and be there around sunset. The only way to get there is a beach road that isn't always open to traffic, (may be seasonal) and it's a bit of a walk if it's closed. Hard to be incognito lugging a camera tripod.
