At the end of Seahaven Road, a short path leads to a hidden gem—an incredible tafoni rock beach full of texture, colour, and creative potential. It’s a small, quiet spot, but well worth exploring, especially if you love unique coastal landscapes. Like Madrona Park, this area gets both morning and evening light in the longer days of spring and summer, making it a great place to catch the glow of golden hour.

Winter brings a different kind of magic. With the sun staying low, the rocks don’t get much direct light, which allows vibrant patches of green and orange algae to flourish in the shade. It’s a striking sight, but be careful—those algae-covered rocks are slick!

Low tide reveals endless patterns and details in the rock formations, but I’ve found that high tide is often better for grand, sweeping scenes. Pair it with an ND filter, and you can create some stunning long-exposure shots, smoothing out the water while letting the unique geology take centre stage.

One challenge in summer is how the dark rocks absorb sunlight, creating deep shadows and dark highlights that can be tricky to work with. It’s not the easiest place to photograph, but that’s part of what makes it rewarding. Seahaven Road Beach has plenty to offer if you're up for experimentation. Take your time, explore different perspectives, and let the landscape surprise you.
