USA Rialto Beach - Near Hole in the Wall
Rialto Beach is a big beach with at one end Little James Island (see other spots) and at the other end Hole in the wall (spot not here yet, don't have pictures of it). In between you have a pebble beach with sprinkled with larger rocks and driftwood, near Hole in the wall you have nice big seastacks.
Photography Tips
Sunset! This is the west coast, sunrise will leave the beach in shadows. Depending on the weather, go need to update your tactics of getting pictures. I hoped for nice fluffy clouds, got a clear sky, so I waited for the sun to be behind the stacks.
During spring and autumn, the sun dives slower in the ocean and sunsets are at a more reasonable hour...

Travel Information
You can leave your car at Rialto Beach Parking at the end of Mora Road. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes if you want to get different perspectives, because there are a lot of huge stones on the beach you have to climb. Take care while doing this and make sure to only use solid rocks.
Rialto Beach at La Push in the Olympic National Park is around 4 hours away from Seattle, so staying here for sunset and getting all the way back isn't a good idea.

There is a campground nearby, and for the real adventurers, I think you are allowed to camp near the beach.
