Small Hood Canal beach with driftwood, rocky foregrounds and long sightlines to the Olympic Mountains — excellent for layered landscape and waterscape shots. Visit at low tide for exposed tidal pools and foreground textures; golden hour (sunrise or sunset) brings warm side-light and reflections. Accessible from US-101 with a small pullout/parking area and no entry fee; paths are short but can be muddy—bring waterproof boots. Summer offers calm water and clear mountain views; fall/winter storms =
