14:37
Grab a coffee or a warm snack at Atwater Market while the day is still bright. The market is just a short walk from H2O Adventures and opens at 09:00, so it will be fully active.
15:37
Head to H2O Adventures to stretch your legs along the canal path. The marina is right across from the market, making this a natural pause before the light changes. You can just walk the path or rent a boat if you want to be out on the water as the sun sets.
16:37
Stand by the water at H2O Adventures for the sunset. The canal offers a clear view of the sun setting toward the WSW, casting a golden glow over the water before it disappears.
17:22
Dinner at Restaurant Joe Beef. It is an 8-minute walk from the canal. Open from 18:00 on weekdays, it is the perfect spot for a hearty meal of roasts, ribs, or seafood after the chill of the evening sets in.
Local tip
The walk from the canal to Joe Beef is short but can be chilly in January. Dress warmly for the sunset view on the water.
