Walk to the Miramar Beach Lighthouse for the best vantage point. The view looks out over the river mouth where ships and shrimp boats pass by. It is a 41-minute walk from the main beach area, so arrive early to secure a good spot.

Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The sky will turn golden just before the sun dips below the horizon. Bring a snack to share with the raccoons that gather here, looking for attention and food.

Head down to Playa Miramar as darkness falls. The beach is a popular spot for residents, and the atmosphere remains lively. You can continue feeding the raccoons with chips from local vendors if you have any left.
Local tip
The walk to the lighthouse is long. Start your evening early if you want to catch the full golden light sequence without rushing.
