Walk to Bayfront Park. It is a 62-minute walk from the anchor, so you will need to leave the bar area early or use transport. Find a spot on the grass amphitheater facing WSW.

Watch the sun set over the water. The light turns golden around 16:24, giving you plenty of time to settle in before the final dip at 17:09.

End the evening at the Phoenix Bar & Grill. It is a short four-minute walk from the McMaster Museum of Art area and stays open until 02:00, perfect for winding down after the sunset.
Local tip
The walk from the bar to the park is long (62 minutes). Check the route if you are not up for a trek, or consider starting your drink closer to the waterfront if you can find a place there. Hutch's at Bayfront Park is a famous local spot for fish and chips if you prefer to eat before watching the sun go down.
