The best sunsets you've seen on your travels?

Hi Sandra,

My best sunset was one early June evening at Mweelrea in the West of Ireland. It was (and often is) spectacular. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera - the memory is in my head.

Here is one from just north of Pa Tong in Phuket, Thailand. 

Here is a picture from Seminyak in Bali.

I love seeing sunsets abroad and photographing them! Here's one from Boracay Island that I took last month.

And this one is from Costa Rica near Manuel Antonio.

I've had the pleasure of witnessing a lot of amazing sunsets... my first on water in Cozumel but I've witnessed many others such as the Grand Canyon National Park, Key West, St John's, Imperial Beachand Hawaii.  I also watched a sunrise and sunset in the same day in Kaua'i!  I don't have all the pics but here are a couple...

A unique view of Waikiki during a sunset...

a classic over the water sunset from Imperial Beach

I think I get a little carried away with sunsets. I live in L.A., so I'm biased to Southern California sunsets, but some of the best I've seen have honestly been in the Pacific Northwest and Southern Africa (I know, two extremes). I've published a number of them on my blog (http://www.whiskeytangoglobetrot.com). Below are a few of my favorites.

Ghent

Botswana from Chobe Game Lodge

Costa Rica at Gulf of Papagayo.

Seattle at Pike Place Market.

Siesta Key has an amazing sunset... If ever in Florida, this is the place for sunsets. Boca Grande is pretty spectacular as well...

This was taken in 2011 in Providenciales.

Best sunset I've ever seen was in and near Casa Conde Del Mar in Costa Rica.  There are long stretches of road to pull over and take a picture, beaches to take a kayak and watch the sunset.  See my pictures when I was there for multiple days.This one is actually a sunrise but just as breathtaking.

Roda, Corfu

Lakka, Paxos

I've seen quite a few but these are my favourites from this year so far

One of the best sunsets I've seen was at Beiruthttps://instagram.com/cigdemtura/

We remarked that, on our cruise, we photographed plenty of sunrises, but hadn't seen many sunsets ... mainly because we were usually at dinner when they happened.

But, when we sat this one through the dining room window ,,, everyone rushed outside, dinner temporarily forgotten.

Even the maitre d' rushed out with his iPhone. And, as it happened, I had my camera handy! 

My favourite sunset ever - in Galle Dutch Fort

Laguna Colorada at Bolivian southern border!

Lemaire Channel in Antarctica.

Pont U-Bein - Amarapura in Myanmar.

and finally one off the Turks and Caicos

A few years ago [2012], I made a New Years Eve resolution to myself to take pictures of sunsets all year long. The results are from all over San Diego County, where I live, and one or two from Illinois. More than 35 shots of different locations.

Hi Sandra, the sunsets in the beach spot of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua were incredible! Here's one we captured when we were there! 

We were also lucky to see some lovely sunsets on the beautiful Gili Islands near Bali in Indonesia...

You can see lots more sunset pics on our instagram account at: https://instagram.com/WorldlyNomads/ :-) 

Hello Sandra. Best sunset shots as follows: Guanacaste, Manuel Antonio National Park, El Coco Beach, Plantation Key and Marco Island respectively. Beautiful pics and unforgettable memories!!

Saludos!.

Just had a nice one in Michigan at the Hoffmaster State Park

3 places which are great places:

1. Anguilla - Crocus bay, Little bay or Limestone bay
2. Bali- Nusa Lembongan
3. Switzerland Lausanne area - take the "route Petite Corniche" and follow towards Chexbres

Bolivia  Uyuni Salt Flat

Guam

Manila Bay is one of the best - unfortunately I do not have any pictures.

Acadia, Rhode Island, Victoria Island - Here's my picture of Rhode Island- sunset.

For me, watching the sun set from the top of Mount Shasta (California) was the best but it is not a place that is easily accessible.  I also lived in Yosemite National Park for 8-years so there are a dozen or more places inside the park, like from the top of Half Dome, that I will never forget.  I also have fond memories of going to watch the sun set at Mallory square (picture) in Key West.  Not only is the scenery outstanding, but the atmosphere and celebration add to the moment.

Nothing will beat Isla Contoy

Morocco, most definitely! it's is close to the equator so doesn't take long, but it's beautiful! 

Florida, Fort De Soto Park near St Petersburg and Kep in Cambodia

Not in any order

Philippines

Amazonas

Colombia 

Argentina

Greece

Queensland has LOADS of awesome sunset and sunrise locations.  We've given a list of spots for the Gold Coast and Brisbane- but there's plenty more out there as well (including star trails)!

I lived in Hawaii 21 years and the sunsets are breathtaking. Let's see if I can find a few for you I took.

The sunset at Piazza del Popolo in Roma Italia and up on Pincio hill.

Southern California (also spoiled because I live in Los Angeles), Hawaii, Florida (near Destin)
