Timeline
17:24
Grab a cold drink or a homemade wrap at The Dive Deck Cafe. It sits just one minute from the anchor and offers some of the most spectacular views across the bay, making it the perfect spot to wait for the light to change.
17:44
Walk north to Mukhala Beach lodge to watch the sun dip below the horizon. The light turns golden around 17:44, casting a warm glow over the water as the sun sets toward the west-southwest.
18:04
Head to My Take Away Palace for a bite to eat. This small restaurant serves tasty international and spicy Indian dishes, and it is open late enough to enjoy a meal after the sun goes down.
