End the evening with dinner at The Tug Restaurant. This actual tugboat offers great seafood and a wide wine selection. Reservations are essential.
Local tip
The aquarium is open until 16:00, so you cannot enter it during this sunset plan, but it is right on your walking path. The Tug Restaurant is rather expensive, so budget accordingly.
