Stanley Park Brewing Restaurant and Brewpub
Start at Stanley Park Brewing Restaurant and Brewpub for a pint and a snack. The pub is open from 11:00 to 23:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in before heading out. It is an 8-minute walk from Second Beach Pool.
17:12
Walk the short distance to Second Beach Pool. This is your vantage point. The pool area offers a clear view toward the WSW, aligning with the sunset direction. Find a spot near the edge to watch the light change.
17:42
The sun sets at 17:42. Watch the golden light fade over the water and the North Shore mountains. The heated pool and surrounding greenery provide a comfortable place to linger as the temperature drops.
18:12
After the light is gone, stay at Second Beach Pool or wander the immediate perimeter. The area is safe and quiet in the early evening, allowing you to decompress after the spectacle.
Local tip
The pub is open late, but if you want to extend the evening with more food or drink, check the route back to Chinatown where places like Chambar or Phnom Penh are open until late. For a safer night walk, stick to the main paths in Stanley Park.
