Sandy Point State Reservation lies at the southern end of Plum Island, a classic barrier island along the Atlantic coast in Newbury, Massachusetts. Access to the 77-acre site is from the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge access road. Together with the refuge, This whole area, spanning a little under 5,000 acres, preserves both key salt marsh and barrier beach habitats.
The photograph, enhanced using High Dynamic Range techniques, was captured while I strolled the beach on an unusually warm October day. The time was close to sunset and the clouds provided an interesting sky to contrast with the rough sand and stone beach on the tip of the island.
Prints are available from my Pixels shop.
