Where we shoot, on a map
Protected tide-pool and bluff reserve in Moss Beach, just north of Half Moon Bay.
Protected tide-pool and bluff reserve in Moss Beach, just north of Half Moon Bay. Cypress grove above, dramatic rocks below at low tide. Quiet weekdays; the cypress canopy is famous in its own right. For sessions, the setting works best when there's a clear plan: which light, which path in, what the weather is doing. Chris's note on this location is in the field below — every destination here gets a real, photographer-tested read rather than a glossy travel description.

Getting here
A few things about Fitzgerald Marine Reserve
Trailhead parking — may require a state-park day-use fee.
West-facing — chase the golden hour through blue hour, especially clear winter evenings.
Exposed — wind picks up in the afternoon. Bring layers + a hair-tie if it's a coast cliff.
