Timeline
19:32
Start with a drink at Blackmans Brewery. The large outdoor seating area offers a relaxed vibe before the evening rush. Check that you arrive before the noon opening if visiting on a weekday, or anytime from noon on other days.
20:02
Walk 9 minutes from the brewery to Torquay Surf Beach. Find a spot on the sand facing west. The beach is patrolled and popular, so you will likely share the space with other surfers and beachgoers.
20:47
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light begins around 20:09, painting the sky just before the sun dips below the horizon at 20:47.
21:17
Stay for a while as the light fades. The beach remains lively with locals and tourists enjoying the evening air.
21:47
Head back to Blackmans Brewery for a post-sunset wind-down. The log fireplace adds warmth if the evening chill sets in, and the mini golf area is still open for a bit of fun.
