2. Pacifica Beach - Ocean Views and Wild Beauty
If you’ve ever felt most yourself with sand beneath your feet and ocean air on your skin, this one’s for you. Pacifica Beach offers dramatic cliffs, wide open sand, and sunsets that feel almost unreal. It’s empowering and breathtaking all at once. This is by far one of my favorite outdoor locations to shoot at!
Why it’s so special:
Incredible natural textures and movement
Golden sunsets for that luxe, glowing vibe
Space to truly feel free and adventurous
Pro tip: Pack a flowy robe or sheer dress—it creates the most stunning movement in the ocean breeze.
