Timeline
15:55
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.
16:25
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.
16:40
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.
17:10
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.
Local tip
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.
