Where we shoot, on a map
Hidden beach at Wilder Ranch State Park, accessed by a short bluff-top walk.
Hidden beach at Wilder Ranch State Park, accessed by a short bluff-top walk. Dramatic sandstone formations and arches. Less foot traffic than the in-town beaches; can feel almost private at the right tide. 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 Four Mile Beach
Paid or free lot adjacent to the sand; can fill up on weekends.
Dog-friendly in most areas; leash rules vary by season.
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.
