Timeline
17:44
Arrive at Atuh Beach and grab a drink or snack from the available refreshments. The beach is on the east side, so you have time to settle in before the light changes.
18:14
Walk along the limestone cliff tops. The early evening light is soft and perfect for photography before the sun actually sets.
18:44
Find a spot on the cliff or beach to watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, offering a clear view across the water.
19:29
Stay for the golden light as it fades. The atmosphere becomes quiet and the colors on the cliffs deepen.
Local tip
The refreshments at Atuh Beach are available until late, but check the specific stall hours if you need something specific. The walk down to the beach is strenuous, so wear sturdy shoes if you plan to go down.
