Timeline

  1. 17:03

    Navy UDT-SEAL Museum

    Walk from the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum toward the south jetty. The walk is 51 minutes one way, but since the jetty is the key viewing spot, start early to secure a good spot on the rocks. The museum is your anchor point to begin this walk.

  2. 17:18

    Fort Pirece Inlet South Jetty

    Stand on the Fort Pirece Inlet South Jetty. The sun sets toward the WSW, offering a clear view of the golden light fading over the water. This is the primary viewing moment.

  3. 18:18

    Navy UDT-SEAL Museum

    Return to the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum. The museum closes at 4 PM, so you cannot enter, but the exterior grounds and the history of the area provide a fitting end to an evening focused on the inlet and naval heritage. Check the route back if needed.

Local tip

The jetty walk is long (51 minutes from anchor). Wear sturdy shoes. No food or drink options are listed in the immediate vicinity, so bring water if you plan to stay long.
