Rodeo Beach | Sunsets

Windswept, exhilarating and covered with unique red and green pebbles, Rodeo Beach is sheltered by cliffs and bounded by a lagoon. No matter the time of day, this sweet spot in the Marin Headlands always provides magnificent photo opportunities. I captured this shot at sunset when I was walking my dogs and enjoying the people around me.

Two military forts once guarded these shores. Fort Barry and Fort Cronkhite, whose structures now serve as National Park Service facilities, were once nerve centers of Marin Headlands military activities long ago.

This beach and surrounding cliffs are amazing to explore and it is easy to lose track of time because there is just so much to see and do.
