Timeline
15:43
Grab a coffee and a pastry at AKEMI. The cafe is open from 09:00 on weekends, so you have plenty of time to sit and watch the morning light fade into the afternoon.
16:13
Walk to Indian Rock Park. This viewpoint is the perfect spot to wait for the sun to dip below the horizon toward the WSW. The park is small, so you can claim a good rock or bench early.
17:13
Watch the sunset. The sun sets at 17:13, casting long shadows over the bay and the city.
17:43
End the night with dinner at Ajanta. It is a short walk from the park and serves organic, sustainable Indian food. Reservations are strongly recommended, so book ahead.
Local tip
The walk from AKEMI to Indian Rock Park is about 14 minutes. If you want to avoid the line at Zachary's Chicago Pizza, stick with the reservation-led Ajanta or the nearby Cactus Taqueria which has no wait.
