Small coastal park at the edge of Marina Bay with sandy dunes, tidal flats and views across Monterey Bay toward the Monterey Peninsula. Shoot minimalist dune textures, long coastal horizons, shorebird activity and dramatic sunrises/sunsets. Best at sunrise for calm water and golden light; foggy mornings add mood. Easy public access with parking on-site, no entry fee; expect wind and variable tides—check tide charts for exposed foregrounds.
