Grab a fresh bagel and a coffee to go. New York Bagel Co. makes theirs every morning, so you will catch them fresh with house-made cream cheese spreads like chive and lox.

Fall River Heritage State Park
Walk to Fall River Heritage State Park. This 8.5-acre park hugs the Taunton River and overlooks Battleship Cove. Find a quiet spot on the grass or benches to wait for the sun.

Fall River Heritage State Park
Watch the sun set toward the WNW. The golden light starts around 18:47, painting the river and the historic battleship in warm hues. Stay for the deep blue twilight as the sky darkens.
20:10
Head to The Cove Restaurant & Marina for dinner. It is open from 11:30 to 21:30 on Friday and Saturday, and until 21:00 Sunday through Thursday. Order a meal and a drink while enjoying the marina views after dark.
Local tip
The walk from the bagel shop to the park is short, but the park is large. Pick a spot facing the river for the best sunset view. The Cove is the only listed option near the park with evening hours, so it is your best bet for dinner after dark.
Check before you go
- The Cove Restaurant & Marina closes at 21:00 on Sunday-Thursday and 21:30 on Friday-Saturday. Make sure you arrive before then.
- Fall River Heritage State Park is an outdoor space; dress warmly for the evening breeze off the river.
