🌅 Scotch Pond at Garry Point Park is one of Richmond’s most serene and photogenic spots to catch a sunset—especially if you’re drawn to quiet reflections, heritage charm, and golden-hour magic.
Why It’s So Special
- Still Waters: The calm surface of Scotch Pond mirrors the sky, creating stunning reflections of clouds, boats, and the surrounding landscape.
- Historic Backdrop: Weathered pilings, net sheds, and remnants of the old Scottish Canadian Cannery add a rustic, nostalgic feel to sunset shots.
- Framed Views: The pond’s location on the northwest edge of Garry Point Park offers a unique vantage point as the sun dips behind the Gulf Islands.
Best Sunset Tips
- Arrive early to explore the interpretive signs and heritage structures before the light fades.
- Bring a tripod if you’re photographing—low light and reflections make for dreamy long exposures.
- Look west across the pond for the best color bursts as the sun sets behind Shady Island and the Salish Sea.

It was one of the nicer sunrises we have had here lately. A bit cooler this morning too!! Fall is coming...but our leaves here in FL never change.
