Best Time for Beach Photos
- Sunrise: Empty beaches, soft pink light
- Late afternoon: Golden light over the ocean
- Avoid midday: Harsh overhead shadows
What to Wear
- Flowy dresses and skirts — they catch the wind beautifully
- White and light colors — pop against blue water and golden sand
- Bare feet — always looks better on sand
- Bring a change for variety between beach and promenade
Beach Photo Tips
- Embrace the wind — windblown hair creates dynamic shots
- Timing the tide — low tide reveals rock pools, high tide means bigger waves
- Water shots — wading in waves always produces crowd favorites
- Bring a towel if you want water shots
