Grab a quick bite at Lotus Thai Cuisine. It is one of the few Thai restaurants in Greater Minnesota and worth the stop for its quality. Since it is open until 21:00, you have plenty of time to eat before heading out.
16:23
Walk over to City Beach and Skate Park. This is the prime spot to see and be seen. Arrive early enough to claim a good patch of sand or a seat near the volleyball court as the afternoon winds down.
16:53
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light hits the beach and skate park first, creating a perfect backdrop. Keep your eyes on the horizon as the sky shifts colors.
17:38
Don Julio's Mexican Restaurant Bar & Grill
End the evening with fajitas and salsa at Don Julio's Mexican Restaurant Bar & Grill. It is just an eight-minute walk from the beach and stays open late, making it the ideal place to unwind after the sunset.
Local tip
The walk from Lotus Thai to the beach takes about 13 minutes, and the beach to Don Julio's is only 8 minutes. This keeps the evening relaxed without long treks in the dark.
