Caspar Headlands State Beach
Rugged Mendocino coastline with rocky headlands, sea stacks, tide pools and crashing surf — ideal for dramatic coastal compositions, long exposures and intimate tide-pool details. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side light and low tides for foreground interest; fog adds mood but can soften contrast. Small roadside parking and short trails make the site easily accessible; watch slippery rocks and rising tides. Peak whale season (winter–spring) and seabird activity add wildlife opportunities.
