Timeline
17:50
Start by hiking up to the Yuquot Lighthouse. It is worth the walk for the views, and it gives you time to settle in before the light changes.
18:20
Find a spot on the grounds to enjoy a snack or drink. There are no shops nearby, so bring your own refreshments to watch the sky turn.
18:35
Watch the sunset. On mid-October evenings, the sun sets toward the WSW around 18:35, casting a final glow over the water.
19:05
Stay for the afterglow. The golden light lingers for a while, offering a peaceful end to the day before the evening chill sets in.
Local tip
The lighthouse is manned, but there are no food or drink shops on site. Bring what you need with you.
Check before you go
- Check the sunset time for your specific date, as it shifts throughout the year.
