Grab a drink at Rids surf café. It opens at 06:00, so it is ready for you before the light shifts. Sit down, settle in, and watch the day wind down.
16:42
Walk from the café to the Red Sand Dunes. The walk is short, about ten minutes. Arrive early enough to find a good spot on the dune slope. The open sand and ten-meter undulations give you plenty of room to settle in before the light changes.
17:12
The golden light starts at 17:12. The sun sets toward the WSW. This is the moment. The orange sand glows as the light hits the undulations. Stay here and watch the color deepen.

Làng Chài Mũi Né - Muine Fishing Village
Head to Làng Chài Mũi Né - Muine Fishing Village. It is a thirty-three minute walk from the dunes, in the WSW direction. The light is fading, and the village offers a quiet place to end the walk.
Local tip
The walk from the dunes to the fishing village is long. Check the route if you are tired. The dunes are open sand, so watch your step on the slopes.
