Standing in the rocks as the waves crashed at high tide was very exciting. I wanted to capture the feeling in this shot.

The cliffs and rocks were worn into interesting shapes by the waves.

At high tide it is fascinating to watch how the waves wrap themselves around the rocks and cliffs. Each moment is different from the other.

I had to negotiate around a wedding photographer and her subjects, and position myself in the waves as they came in, to get the right angle of rocks and Bird Rock in the distance. Out towards the horizon there are a couple of paddle boarders who periodically would surf in as well.

About this spot
Laguna Beach, CA has many photo opportunities. There is a farmer's market, an annual arts festival, and it has an art gallery/small restaurant vibe. But much of the action is on the beach. There is a long sandy beach, areas that consist of rocks worn by the waves, and landscaped walks at the top of the cliffs overlooking the waves.
