Any Questions First?

Digital camera (i.e. DSLR or mirrorless camera) with wide angle lenses highly recommended for landscape photos, and telephoto lenses comes in real handy, especially when you wish to get some detail of the landscape. Good tripod and a remote shutter release for tack sharp pictures. Neutral density (ND 8x, 64x, and 1000x) and polarizer filters are highly recommended.
We strongly recommend you pack up some waterproof hiking boots and waterproof clothing with you. Make sure to pack up some warm clothing. It can get real windy and damp.
You can easily access most of the stunning photo spots along the coast without having to venture far from your car. All you need to do is take a short climb down the cliffs, either by following a set of stairs or navigating the rugged rocks.
