Dolos in Eureka on the North Jetty - Photographs of Humboldt County, CA by gvan42
Looking at Eureka in the Distance

Dolos are Giant Concrete Objects that are used to Build Breakwaters... The ODD SHAPE prevents Ocean Waves from Washing them Away... Originally, The Jetties Were Built using Giant Rocks but... Storms Washed them Away... 
 They are about TEN Feet from End to End...

A single DOLO at the Eureka Welcome Center.
They are used to make the North and South Jettys
that protect the Harbor Entrance.
Originally, the Army Corps of Engineers used
giant rocks to build the Jettys but
over the years they were washed away by the Ocean Waves.
Dolos were invented in South Africa and
look like chicken bones used in a gambling game...
