Pinkcoco Gili Air - Sunset Restaurant
Find a seat at Pinkcoco Gili Air. It sits on the west coast with a beach-club atmosphere, making it the perfect place to order Indonesian or international food while the sky is still bright. The sun is high enough now that you can eat comfortably without squinting.
18:01
Walk 17 minutes northwest from the restaurant to Sunset 2. This viewpoint is oriented toward the west-southwest, directly in the path of the setting sun. Find a spot on the sand or rocks where you have a clear, unobstructed view of the horizon.
18:41
Watch the sun set at 18:41. The light will shift from bright white to deep orange and purple as it disappears below the water line. Stay for a few minutes to let the colors fade into twilight.
19:26
End the evening at Scallywags Organic Beach Club. It is about 10 minutes away and stays open until 23:00. The organic seafood and salad buffet provide a relaxed way to digest your earlier meal while enjoying the sea views in the cool night air.
Local tip
The walk from Pinkcoco to Sunset 2 takes you away from the main road noise. Bring a light layer as the temperature drops quickly after sunset.
