A Hidden Sunset on Tasman Drive Coast

View on Google Maps

The Tasman Drive Coast is one of those places you stumble upon by pure chance, and that’s exactly what happened here. My wife and I were out exploring the Mornington Peninsula one Saturday, following our weekend tradition of finding new walks and hidden corners. I spotted a coastal trail on Google Maps, and we decided to check it out. At first, I left my camera in the car, but as soon as I saw this view with the bay opening into the horizon under the soft glow of sunset, I knew we had to go back. I grabbed my Nikon D800 with the 17–35mm f/2.8, set it up behind a bush for some foreground texture, and captured this scene. It was an unexpected discovery that turned into one of my favorite coastal shots.
