Hoppy:  The expression is "Lunaya darozhka."  "Luna" is moon, obviously, 
"aya" makes it an adjective, and "darozhka" is the diminutive of road.  So 
literally, "little moon road."

The "pinnacles" are actually remnants of old pilings from piers.  This 
beach park was once a place where boats moored. Supposedly they burned old 
wooden boats on this beach in bygone days.  Occasionally the tide exposes 
old rusty remnants.
