    The Coast Guard House

    Take a table on the outdoor deck. Order a local beer and some oysters. The Atlantic view is wide and open, perfect for starting your countdown.

    The Coast Guard House

    Finish your drink and step out onto the seawall. The sun is low and bright, casting long shadows. Find a spot near the railing where the water reflects the sky.

    The Coast Guard House

    Watch the sun sink toward the WSW. The golden light fades quickly, turning the water a deep blue. Stay for the last few minutes of color.

    Nana's Ice Cream & Gelato Café

    Walk across the street to Nana's for a late treat. The ice cream shop is still open and offers a warm contrast to the cooling evening air. Grab a gelato and sit on the steps.

The Coast Guard House deck faces the ocean directly. If it is windy, ask for a table further back. Nana's is open until 23:00, so you have plenty of time after the sunset.
