Timeline

Stop at Parks Art Deco Cafe in Stanley Park for a coffee or tea. It is a short walk from the zoo and a good place to settle in before the walk west.
16:01
Walk from Stanley Park to North Pier. The pier is the quietest of the three and offers a clear view toward the southwest where the sun sets.
16:21
Stand on North Pier to watch the sunset. On this date the sun sets toward the SW, aligning perfectly with the pier's orientation.
16:51
Head to the Dutton Arms for dinner and a drink. This pub is located near Pleasure Beach and serves decent grub. It is open until 23:00 on weekdays and 24:00 on Saturdays, so it will be open after sunset.
Local tip
The walk from Stanley Park to North Pier takes about 50 minutes. If you prefer a shorter walk, take the transport route to the seafront and check the specific route.
