Timeline
17:51
Walk the trails at Roche Point Park to find a clear view of the water. The park sits on a bluff, offering an unobstructed line of sight toward the west-southwest where the sun will dip below the horizon.
18:21
Watch the sunset. The sky will turn gold and then blue as the light fades over the inlet. Stay for a few minutes to let your eyes adjust to the darker evening.
19:06
Head to Momiji Japanese Cuisine for dinner. It is one of the few places open late enough to catch you after dark. Order a meal that takes time to enjoy, like a bento box or hot pot, as the kitchen closes at 21:30 on Sundays.
