Short Sand Beach (Oswald West State Park) offers dramatic basalt headlands, sea stacks and a sheltered cove with surf and tidepools—ideal for coastal landscapes, long exposures and intimate seascapes. Access requires a short steep trail/stairs from a small parking area off Highway 101 (parking fills early and trail can be slippery). Best at low tide for foreground rocks and tidepools; golden hour and sunset deliver warm side-light on cliffs. Watch sneaker waves and dress for wind; weekdays and早晨
