Walk to King's Roast Beef for a quick pizza slice. It is open from 11:00 to 21:30, making it a reliable stop for a casual lunch bite near the anchor.
15:35
Head to Salem Willows Arcade and Park. The 61-minute walk from the cemetery is a good way to stretch your legs before the main event. This oceanfront spot has a kitschy, well-loved carnival atmosphere that feels alive in the late afternoon.
16:35
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light hits the harbor and the amusement park structures just before the sun dips below the horizon at 16:35.
Local tip
The walk from the cemetery to the Willows is long, so pace yourself. Konna closes at 14:00, so ensure you finish your coffee before then if you want to stay inside or linger.
