A walk along a near deserted beach at sunrise is very good for the soul #costabrava #hiking

Morning light and clouds at low tide. Do you see the moon peaking through the clouds?

This is the start of the steep hike down to the beach in Ragged Point, California which is part of the Big Sur coastline. Disclaimer - I've never ventured down the path because I don't want to make the climb back up!

The sun doesn't rise over the ocean in California but we often get colorful morning skies that rival our beautiful beach sunsets.

All the beaches are in Southern California. You should update the headline.

Horseback riders on the beach at sunset in Morro Bay, California.

Four horseback riders walk along the shoreline at sunset, silhouetted against a glowing orange and pink sky with gentle clouds reflecting on the wet sand and ocean waves.

The quiet beauty of the early morning hours on the beach— soft light, gentle waves, a piece of driftwood, and the still reflection of the sky (including the moon) in the pooled water left behind by the receding tide.

As the sun dips below the ocean horizon, soft light spills across the rolling beach dunes. The weathered fence posts sit quietly in the foreground — silent witnesses to countless sunsets and salty ocean breezes.

Sunset over coastal sand dunes with a soft golden and blue sky, two weathered tree stumps and driftwood in the foreground surrounded by green ground cover.

A white egret taking flight over the shoreline.
#photography #landscape #bird #eastcoastkin #blueskyartshow

A large, white egret is in the process of taking flight on a beach. Its wings are outstretched and slightly angled back, showcasing the delicate structure of its plumage. Its legs are extended and are about to touch the sand.The background features a shoreline with waves crashing against the shore. The waves are a mix of white foam and dark, slightly bluish water. Behind the water, there the tall, light brownish-tan, rocky cliffs of Morro Rock in Morro Bay, California. Patches of green vegetation are visible on the lower portion of the rock.

The beach sand is visible, reflecting the light and colors from the sky. Some dark, seaweed-like debris is present on the beach near the waterline. The light suggests a sunrise or sunset, with soft, warm colors reflecting on the water.

I took the photo from the path between the dunes at Morro Strand State Beach which is north of the rock.

The sunrise painted the horizon with shades of pink, peach, and lavender, perfectly mirrored on the wet sand below. A peaceful reminder of how calming the ocean can be in the early morning hours. #landscape #photography #blueskyartshow #eastcoastkin

Caribbean sunset in the US Virgin Islands.

A colorful ocean sunset with scattered clouds on the horizon off the island of St John in the US Virgin Islands. There are gentle waves lapping the shore of a sandy, secluded beach. Just offshore there are three sailboats on the water.
