Where can you find the unusual giant rock formation right by the coastal road near Batumi?

TL;DR
Along the coastal road near Batumi there's a stretch where a huge single rock sits right next to the highway — unusual since the Georgian coastline is mostly pebble beach. It likely formed when boulders fell from the nearby mountains, which come very close to the sea at this point.

This spot is confirmed to be in Georgia — elsewhere along the coast you'll only find large pebbles, not standalone boulders like this.

The likely explanation: the mountains come very close to the sea at this point, and long ago rocks broke off and fell right to the shoreline, creating this unusual landscape.
