In Key West, taking in the sunset is a nightly ritual. As the sun sets over the Gulf of Mexico, locals and visitors gather at Mallory Square Dock to toast to the setting sun. Originally a laid-back tradition, it has evolved into a vibrant celebration including food carts offering a variety of items, including Key Lime sweets and conch fritters, live music, and a thriving local arts and crafts market. When the sun paints the sky a brilliant pink and orange, the background takes center stage.
There's no terrible spot in Bora Bora to geometry dash watch the sunset, but if you can do it while lounging in a hammock on your over-water bungalow's own terrace and watching the sun drop into the pristine lake, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. One of the greatest beach hotels on the planet, the Four Seasons Bora Bora is a favorite pick for couples planning a romantic vacation or honeymoon. As you enjoy tropical cocktails in your own plunge pool and watch peacock damselfish, unicornfish, and blacktip reef sharks swim past, watch the sun set over Mount Otemanu.
When the sun sets over the Australian desert every night, the gigantic rock structure known as Uluru experiences a spectacular shift. Before becoming black at dusk, the rock is painted by the sun in hues of orange, deep red, burned umber, and ochre, creating a dramatic silhouette across the sky. To get a breathtaking perspective of Uluru and the neighboring domed rocks of Kata Tjuta, go to the top of one of the surrounding dunes.
Amidst the unadulterated beauty of Sedona, where the desert meets the mountains, watching the sunset can be an almost mystical experience. The brilliant hues of the landscape sparkle against the deepening blue of the desert sky as the sun sets. Sedona is well-known for its red rock buttes. To get the most out of the experience, go up to Red Rock Crossing, which is close to Crescent Moon Ranch, and stay back for the sun setting along the stream. Travel to Airport Mesa to see the sun set behind Courthouse Butte, Cathedral Rock, and Bell Rock for a less strenuous trip.
Travel to Tanzania if you've always wanted to take a picture of the iconic silhouette of a giraffe lit by the sun. Because of its efforts to conserve its species, this African country is now home to lions, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, zebras, and the famously beautiful giraffes that straddle the Serengeti Plain. Go on a safari around dusk to see the countryside glow gold due to the sun's gradual drop and waves of heat. A giraffe may, with luck, stop by a baobab tree at just the right time.
