Buy a bottle of bubbly and head to the beach bar. Tiger Reef is an excellent spot for a sundowner, located by the aquarium. Walk along the beach toward Walvis Bay to find your spot.

Settle in at Strand Beach to watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light begins around this time, casting a warm glow over the desert colors.

End the evening with dinner at The Tug Restaurant. This seafood restaurant is housed in an actual tug with a great view of the sea. Reservations are essential.
Local tip
Reservations at The Tug are essential. If you prefer a more casual end to the night, Café Anton stays open until 19:00, but it closes before sunset, so it is better for an earlier stop.
