    Park 5/6

    Walk to Park 5/6. It is the closest viewing spot to the Sailing anchor and offers a clear view toward the WSW, where the sun is setting.

  3. 17:05

    Park 5/6

    Watch the sun sink toward the horizon. The light shifts from bright to a warm golden hue just before it disappears.

  4. 17:35

    Fish Market

    End the evening at the Fish Market. It is just a short walk from the park and stays open late, perfect for a post-sunset meal.

Local tip

Park 5/6 is a quiet stretch of land. If it feels too exposed, the nearby West Bay Beach is an alternative, but it is a longer walk.
