Timeline

Buy a drink or snack from a local shop nearby and head to the western headland of St Clair Beach. The area is perfect for settling in early as the light begins to change.
21:12
Find a spot on the sand or rocks facing west. The sun sets toward the WSW, offering a clear view as the golden light fades.
21:27
Watch the sunset. The sky turns warm colors as the sun disappears below the horizon.
21:57
After the light fades, enter the St Clair Hot Salt Water Pool. The water is heated to 28°C, making it a perfect way to end the evening.
Local tip
Check the route if you need transport to the pool. The pool is open until 7PM in March, so ensure you arrive before closing if you plan to swim after sunset.
