Lilly Shapell Park — photo spot in Drakes Bay, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677, USA
Lilly Shapell Park
Small coastal bluff park with sweeping ocean panoramas over Drakes Bay, rocky shoreline and seasonal coastal scrub — ideal for dramatic seascapes, golden-hour skies and intimate foregrounds of wildflowers or tidal rocks. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side lighting and long exposures; low tide reveals more foreground texture. Limited on-site parking; arrive early weekdays to avoid crowds. No fee; path down to viewpoints can be windy and uneven, so bring layers and sturdy shoes.
