Charlotte,
I have taken what has amounted to be thousands of pictures like you are mentioning... first of all, there is no bad place on the beach to take photos of sunrise... The best sunrise pictures are taken when you use the surf line to judge the bottom of your photo... that way, all you get is ocean, sky and the sun... hopefully there are some cool clouds distorting the sun somehow... I have several that I've take that I've blown up and have framed and hung in my home. Sunset, I'd go to Bahia Marina and have dinner at Fish tales... great sunset views, or... my personal favorite is Seacrets... you get awesome views of the sun setting there... so far as beach landscape goes, I'd head to north Ocean City if you want dunes and beach grass in the landscape picture... Also, I've taken some great shots on the Inlet Jetty.... that's a great place to get some super shots... Have fun!!!!!! Fill up your memory card!!
