Long, wide Pacific beach with dunes, driftwood, expansive horizons and frequent dramatic skies — ideal for minimalist seascapes, storm photography, tide-pool details and migratory shorebirds. No entry fee; roadside parking and small lots near access points (can fill on summer weekends). Best at sunrise and sunset for color; low tide reveals reflections and tide pools. Winter storms produce moody skies; summer offers calmer, pastel light. Bring layers for wind and spray.
