Timeline
18:54
Grab a drink and a bite at Aqua Blu. The menu changes with the seasons, so you will find fresh, local flavors. It is a short walk from the anchor, making it an easy start to the evening.
19:54
Head to Route 37 Watersports. This is your base for the evening. You can rent a jet ski or waverunner to get out on the water, or just enjoy the view from the shore if you prefer to stay dry. Remember to bring a valid photo ID.
20:24
Make your way to Ocean Gate Beach. The sun sets toward the WNW, offering a direct view of the golden light fading over the water. It is a good spot to watch the final moments of daylight.
21:09
End the evening with a stroll along the Island Heights Boardwalk. The light will have faded, but the atmosphere is calm. It is a nice place to walk off the day and reflect on the view.
Local tip
The sunset is early in the year but later in July. Check the specific date for the exact golden light window. Aqua Blu is open until 22:00 on weekdays, so you have time for a late bite after the beach.
