Wide Atlantic-facing beach with dunes, grasses, and a public timber access ramp at 71st St — ideal for sunrise seascapes, long exposures of surf, minimalist compositions with lifeguard chairs and footprints. Public, no entry fee; seasonal paid street/lot parking on Atlantic Ave. Best at dawn for soft light and fewer people; summer mornings crowded, shoulder seasons offer dramatic skies and emptier foregrounds. Boardwalk and local houses add context for variety shots.
