Grab a coffee and a pastry at the beachfront cafe before the crowds arrive. It opens at 10:30 on weekdays, so you can start early.
15:54
Walk down to Whitesands Beach. The sand is large and picturesque, offering clear views of Ramsey Island. Find a spot near the water's edge where you can watch the sky change.
16:39
Watch the sun set toward the SW. The golden light fades into twilight as the day ends.
17:09
Stay for a while after sunset. The beach is divided into sections for swimmers and surfers, but the evening calm is best enjoyed from the sand. Check the route back to town if you need to return.
Local tip
The beach gets very busy on sunny days in the summer. Arriving early ensures you get a good spot without the crowd.
