Sand Key Park

North of Clearwater Beach Sand Key Park can be found. I picked late afternoon for a visit to shoot some pictures accompanied by my friend who wanted to use the dog park to walk his favorite pet.

First of all, it's a great place for visiting the beach, but forget about the dog park. It was plastered with stickers and my friend had problems getting those hard stickers out of his Labrador's paws. The parking fee of 5 Dollars makes it a very expensive doggy walk, anyhow. However, for the beach part of the part it is well worth it. Ample parking and an almost endless beach:

These days sunset time stretches for around 15 minutes from 19:00h on. It offers great photo opportunities. Awesome portraits and action shots with fill-in flash work well with the falling sun as a backdrop. Other opportunities are romantic silhouette shots. Too bad sunset lasts for a couple of minutes, only. I will be back soon for more shots.
