Death Stranding 2: On the Beach: Photo Spot Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Photo Spots are scenic landmark locations across Australia marked on the map by a distinct camera icon — curated viewpoints the developers consider worth pausing for, rather than player-placed structures.

Unlike Mexico, which contains none, every confirmed Photo Spot sits within the Australian continent. All known locations are included on our Death Stranding 2 interactive map for Australia.

Notable Photo Spots

• North Edge Ridge — a ridge stretching along the continent's northern edge, once a vantage point over the northeastern ocean, now overlooking an endless expanse of tar.
• 
  
• Great Falls — the largest waterfall on the Australian continent, over 80 metres in height, located on the upper course of the Cliffside River and widely regarded as the most photographed location in the game.
• 
  
• Orange Coast — a rocky coastal area bordered by the ocean to the west, best visited during sunset for a striking orange-lit landscape.

How to Use Photo Mode

Press the left side of the DualSense Touchpad to open Photo Mode, which pauses the game and brings up camera settings including angle adjustment and an option to toggle the Death Stranding 2 logo overlay.

Press Square to hide the menu, then press X to capture the shot. Screenshots are saved to the Ring Terminal, accessible through the Social Strand Service's Photos Tab, and also appear automatically as a post by Sam on the SSS Home tab — visible to other players through the game's asynchronous online system.

The Photo Mode Trophy Isn't Location-Specific

Unlike many open-world photo collectibles, no trophy in Death Stranding 2 requires visiting every Photo Spot.

The relevant trophy — using a screenshot taken in Photo Mode to decorate the private room — can be earned from any photograph taken anywhere in the game, including standard scenery, not exclusively at marked Photo Spot locations.

Visiting these curated viewpoints is purely optional, intended to highlight some of the game's most striking vistas for players who enjoy the photo-sharing side of the Social Strand System.
