Quiet Cove Sunset at Gonzales Beach

The cove locals quietly prefer you not to find, with tide pools, a tree swing, and the Olympic Mountains across the water.

More info

The date

Gonzales is the beach whose regulars quietly hope you don't find it, which is the highest possible endorsement. A sheltered crescent of soft sand sits below a residential street, with tide pools at one end, a tree swing near the picnic spot, and the Olympic Mountains lined up across the strait in a way that is frankly unfair. Parking is street-only, so arrive early and stay for the gold light.
