Small seaside park with dune-fringed beach and sweeping Monterey Bay views — great for sunrise panoramas, long-exposure surf shots, and shorebird/wetland wildlife. Easily accessible off Seaside Cir with free street parking; no entry fee. Best at dawn or golden hour for soft light and few people; low tide exposes textured sand and tide pools. Wind can be strong; combine beach and nearby dunes for layered compositions.
