Timeline

  1. 16:52

    San Pedro Springs Park

    Walk the paths around the springs as the sky turns gold. The park is open late, so you have plenty of time to settle in before the sun dips below the horizon toward the WSW.

  2. 17:37

    San Pedro Springs Park

    Stay a bit longer to watch the transition from golden hour to twilight. The 46-acre space offers a quiet contrast to the city that awaits you shortly.

    Philo Coffee

    Head to Philo Coffee for a drink. It is a short walk from the park and fits perfectly into your timeline, offering coffee, tea, or wine as you unwind after the sunset.

  4. 18:37

    La Fonda on Main

    Finish the evening with dinner at La Fonda on Main. This Tex-Mex restaurant is open until 21:30 on weekdays, giving you time to enjoy a meal after your drink.

Local tip

The park closes at 23:00, so you have plenty of time to linger. Philo Coffee is open until 18:00 on weekdays, so if you prefer a later drink, La Fonda on Main stays open until 21:30 and serves both food and a full bar.
