A compact coastal rainforest pocket of tall conifers, mossy understory and small streams just off Island Hwy. Great for intimate forest scenes, low-angle tree portraits, close-up moss/lichen textures and gentle waterscape reflections. Best light at golden hour or on soft overcast mornings after rain; weekday mornings have the fewest people. Easy walking trails, free entry and roadside parking; paths are mostly flat but can be muddy — bring waterproof shoes.
