Timeline
17:29
Sit down for dinner at Payoda Warung. The Indonesian restaurant is just a minute’s walk from the water and stays open late, giving you plenty of time to eat and digest before the sun goes down.
17:59
Walk down to Crystal Bay. The white sand beach is idyllic and usually quiet. Find a spot near the water’s edge where you can see the view toward the WSW.
18:44
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, aligning perfectly with the view from this northwestern coast. The golden light starts about fifteen minutes before, painting the clear waters in warm tones.
19:14
End the evening at Amok sunset. This international restaurant is a short twelve-minute walk away and serves food until 22:00, making it a perfect place to stay for a late drink or dessert after the light fades.
Local tip
The beach faces WSW, which matches the sunset direction in January. If you visit in other months, check the sunset direction in the facts to ensure you have the right view.
