This is Bwa Gwyn (White Arch) on the northwest coast of Anglesey, North Wales.
It's a dramatic location that's quite tricky to get to, especially when trying not to destroy your camera while clambering down the steep walls of the cove where it's hidden!
Once there though, the setting is spectacular and well worth the effort.
Being there at the right time is important, when tide and light direction combine to bring out the best in the scene. I've found that visiting around the Spring or Autumn equinox gives the best light at sunset, while a high tide at the same time provides the movement and drama that I like to include in my coastal photography.
