Small public lot giving direct access to Pennington Beach's wide sandy shore and rocky headlands. Shoot long sandy foregrounds, surf textures, dramatic storms in winter, and migrating whales (Jun–Oct) from the headlands. Best at sunrise for soft sidelighting and sunset for warm tones on cliffs; low tide reveals tidal pools and rock patterns. Parking is roadside/lot—usually free; paths from the lot are short but can be sandy. Weekdays and early mornings are least crowded. Bring wind protection; r
