Washington Oaks Garden State Park
There are two main areas of the park: the gardens and the beach. The gardens provide a fantastic array of photo locations, including a massive live oak tree, rose garden, fish pond, and tree-covered canopy roadway. The best time to take these photos is in the afternoon on a sunny day. The beach at Washington Oaks is unique due to the number of coquina rocks along this coastline. It makes for a beautiful backdrop. The best time to shoot pictures is about an hour before dusk.
