Small rocky beach with driftwood, tidal pools and wide Salish Sea vistas — look for layered compositions using logs, foreground rocks and distant islands/Mount Baker on clear days. Best at golden hour and sunset for warm side-light and reflections; low tide reveals textures. Easy roadside parking on Island View Close, no fee; path to beach is short but rocky — wear sturdy shoes. Weekdays or early mornings reduce visitors. Combine with Chemainus murals for a day shoot.
