    Ivar's Seafood Bar

    Start with a drink and some fresh seafood. Ivar's Seafood Bar is right on the water at Coulon Beach Park. It opens at 10:00, so you have plenty of time to grab a bite and watch the afternoon traffic on the lake before the light changes.

    Coulon Beach Park

    Walk over to the open areas of Coulon Beach Park. Position yourself facing west. The Boeing plant is on your right and the water stretches out in front. This is the spot to wait for the sun to dip below the horizon.

    Trencher's Kitchen & Tap

    Head to Trencher's Kitchen & Tap for dinner and a drink. It is a short walk from the beach. As an evening plan, this is the perfect time to sit down. Check the route if you are unsure, but it is close enough to walk easily after the sunset.

Local tip

The walk from the beach to the pub is short. If you want to keep it simple, stay near Coulon Beach Park where all these options are within a few minutes of each other.
