Small coastal park on Monterey Bay offering dune and shoreline views, dramatic skies and seasonal migratory birds. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side-light and reflections. Easy access from 4th Army Rd with free street/lot parking, paved paths and no entry fee. Weekdays and early mornings are least crowded; dress for wind and salt spray. Nearby Fort Ord history adds context for environmental restoration shots.
