January 21st - 24th 2027 | 4 Days, 3 Nights

Your Coastal Tides photography adventure starts here.

Experience one of the most spectacular coastal events of the year during King Tides. Every year, the stormy season rolls in, and the larger tidal events are called King Tides. These signify larger waves and higher tide levels that allow for some incredible photography opportunities.

Cape Disappointment is located on the border of Washington and Oregon, right on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. This location has become famous for King Tides because of its beaches located next to a rock face with a lighthouse above. This view is incredible and iconic for coastal photography.

During this workshop, we will stay in two lodges, one located in Astoria, an iconic and charming coastal town, and one closer to the park with natural views of the oceanside. We will go out during peak high tides to witness these waves crashing against each other and the cliff faces. We will spend our down time in the hotel, going over photo editing and photos taken during the workshop.
