McDonald Beach Park offers low-tide mudflats, gravel shoreline and wide views across the Salish Sea to mountains and Vancouver’s skyline — great for wide coastal panoramas, reflective foregrounds, and migratory shorebirds. Easy access with a small parking lot, paved paths and beach ramps; no entry fee. Visit at low tide for exposed textures and at sunrise or golden-hour sunsets for warm side-lighting. Weekdays and early mornings reduce local picnickers; watch for wind off the water and bring wet
