Timeline
15:14
Pick up a hot drink and a sweet treat at Shelter Cafe. It is open until 16:00, so you have plenty of time before the sun goes down.
15:39
Walk to Codona's Amusement Park. The area offers open views and a quiet spot to wait for the light to change. It is a 33 minute walk from the anchor, but the cafe is only 4 minutes away, so this is a short local stroll from your starting point.
15:59
Watch the sun set toward the southwest. The golden light peaks around 14:43, casting a warm glow over the beach and the park.
16:29
End the evening at St Machar Bar. It is a short walk from the beach area and open until 23:00, making it a perfect place to stay and talk after the sun has gone.
Local tip
The walk from the cafe to the park is short and flat. Check the route if you want to take a slightly longer path along the river.
