A BRIEF SUMMARY OF SEAL ROCK
Seal Rock sometimes great photographic opportunities are just off of the highway. Seal Rock is one of those.
This location is an easy walk from the Seal Rock State Recreation parking lot and offers tons of great compositions using the many uniquely shaped sea stacks, ocean flow, sea gulls, and crashing waves.

DATA POINTS INCLUDED WITH SEAL ROCK SUMMARY
I would rate the difficulty of this trail as a 2 on a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being most difficult). To get to the Seal Rock beach, it is a moderately easy ½ mile walk from the Seal Rock State Park parking lot. The hike includes walking down a cement ramp to the beach. Once on the beach, you might have to walk through some water or mud on the beach.
There are many ways to shoot the Seal Rocks. Most are pretty straightforward. I would suggest scouting the area before evening/sunset to find the composition that is best for you.
The above shot was taken with a 24mm lens. You can use anything from a 16mm to a 35 mm lens – depending on the composition you are looking for.
