Aim for golden hour
Book the session in the hour before sunset for the warmest light and softest shadows; expect more crowds at this time.
Protect gear from sand and spray
Bring a zip pouch for phones and a microfiber cloth for lenses; keep camera bags off the damp sand.
Arrive early to scout light
Get there 10–15 minutes before your start time to settle, check wind and coordinate wardrobe changes.
Mind tide and wind
High tide and onshore wind can limit usable beach space and create stronger backscatter in photos—ask the photographer about tide timing.
