Coligny Beach Scenes
The award-winning Coligny Beach Park is Hilton Head Island’s most popular oceanfront park. The park provides access to miles of beautiful beaches for all to enjoy. Scenes from a cold, windy day with striking clouds on the beach.

Birds at Coligny Beach Renourishment Project
Hilton Head Island’s beaches are more than a scenic escape—they’re critical to the island’s identity, economy, and ecology. In order to preserve the beach, an infusion of sand is needed along some of the coast to ensure the sandy shoreline is wide enough for everyone
The beach is a vital habitat for both migratory birds and nesting sea turtles

Beach Renourishment
The 2025–2026 Hilton Head beach renourishment project was underway in the Coligny Beach area when we visited. The project involves adding 2.1 million cubic yards of sand to counteract erosion, pumping sand 24/7 from offshore to reshape the beach.
Here are images of the equipment and even birds looking for food.

Visiting Hilton Head
Hilton Head Island is in South Carolina. It’s known for Atlantic Ocean beaches. We will post some images captured on the beaches during our visit there in February 2026.
During the early-sunset walk on Barony Beach, we saw these boats stranded on the beach, with the bright sun behind them.

Foggy Day at Baker Beach
After photographing the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California, from various locations, we ventured to Baker Beach on a foggy evening.
Baker Beach, located in San Francisco’s Presidio, is a scenic, mile-long beach famous for its stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. While it’s a popular spot for photography, the foggy weather makes it challenging.

Red Beach Hut
A beach hut (also known as a beach cabin, beach box or bathing box) is a small, usually wooden and often brightly colored, box above the high tide mark on popular bathing beaches.
This image is from a beach in England where the red hut stands out among other colored beach boxes.

Shot Against the Sun at a Beach
As an experiment of shooting against the sun at a beach in Mandvi, Gujarat, India, it was surprising to see silhouette-like images of animals, people and wooden cabana.
Sunrise from a Different Perspective
Unlike sunrise images from the beach, here are photos from the balcony of a rental property at Sunset Beach, North Carolina. The first image is early dawn as the sun is yet to rise and second one shows the sunrise behind the clouds.
Sunset at Sunset Beach
As the name suggests, Sunset Beach (in North Carolina) is known for its breathtaking sunsets. One can watch the sun sink into the horizon from the beach, the pier, or one of the many waterfront restaurants, creating a picture-perfect end to a perfect day. Will be posting images from sunrise and sunsets at this beach.

Shutters on the Beach
Shutters on the Beach is more than just a spectacular place to stay, it’s the epitome of Southern California’s breezy lifestyle. This captivating hotel is located directly on the sand and within walking distance of the area’s biggest attractions including the Santa Monica Pier.
Park and Pier on the Beach
In the middle of the Santa Monica State Beach is the Santa Monica Pier. The pier is a landmark for the beach and the city, featuring an amusement park, Pacific Park, Heal the Bay Aquarium, shopping, restaurants, and more.
Santa Monica Beach Scene
On the south side of the pier, Santa Monica Beach is level with the city, with parking lots, parks, homes and hotels bordering the beach. The Original Muscle Beach (featuring gymnastics equipment) and Carousel Park are located just south of the Santa Monica Pier. The ever present palm trees complete the California beach scene.
