Small sheltered bay with sandstone cliffs, rocky reef and calm water — great for intimate coastal landscapes, rock-pool details and long-exposure seascapes. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light and reflections; low tide reveals foreground textures. Easily reached off Beach Rd in Half Moon Bay with free street parking; no entry fee. Expect walkers and locals—weekday dawns are quiet. Watch slippery rock surfaces and changing tides.
