Walk to Stulang Beach. This small stretch of beach faces the Johor Strait directly, offering an unobstructed view of the western horizon. It is a quiet spot perfect for watching the sky change color. The beach is near many eateries, but the focus here is the view and the sea breeze.

Watch the sunset. On this date, the sun sets at 19:15 toward the WSW, directly over the strait from this vantage point. The golden light begins around 18:46, giving you about thirty minutes of warm light before the main event. The beach is a great relaxing place at night, so stay for a moment after the sun dips below the horizon.

Stulang Beach is near many eateries if you want to continue your evening, but the beach itself is the main draw for the sunset. Restoran ZZ is a reliable choice for a hearty meal before the walk.
