If you’re a sucker for beautiful sunsets, then look no further…

There’s nothing better after a day spent travelling and exploring than sitting on a beach or at a viewpoint and watching a beautiful sunset. It’s one of two chances you get everyday to witness a genuine phenomenon, and let’s face it sunsets are a lot easier than waking up at the crack of dawn to see the sun rise.

Although making the effort to get up for sunrise does give you something else, peace and quite from the crowds.

But this is about sunsets, so let’s get into it.

Grand Cayman

Apart from being known as a tax haven, Grand Cayman consistently has beautiful sunsets almost everyday.

Not only do they have amazing sunsets but you’re on an island in the Caribbean. Sit on the beach, under a palm tree, with a cocktail and see the day out in style.

Maui, Hawaii

Sticking with the island theme, Maui in Hawaii has to get a mention.

When you’re on an island in the middle of the Pacific with an uninterrupted view as far as the eye can see out across the ocean, you’re always going to be in for a treat come sunset. You get to see every inch of the fire ball slowly drop below the earth’s curve and disappear, and it’s not a bad place to brush up on your beach photography skills either!

Whitsunday Islands, Australia

In total 74 islands make up the Whitsunday Islands so it’s hard to suggest just one. It’s the combination of the great sunsets you get along with the surroundings you find yourself in that make it a perfect spot to watch the sun go down at the end of the day.

The islands are popular with sailors and there are plenty of sailing tours to go on. I’m sure the views from a boat are stunning if you can’t decide which island to visit.

While you’re at it, check out these amazing photography spots in Sydney that most photographers don’t know about!

Zion National Park

If landscape photography is your thing you can’t get much better light than the golden rays that bath Zion Nation Park during sunset hours.

Instead of watching the sun drop below the horizon, use the opportunity to get some great landscape photos. When the sun is low in the sky its rays have to pass through more of the earth’s atmosphere. This defuses it perfectly and the end result is soft, flattering golden light that makes scenes look great.

Santorini, Greece

One of the most famous and photogenic Greek islands, Santorini, is picture perfect, but what would make it even better? Yep you guessed it, a beautiful sunset.
