Finding the best sunsets in Naples

The best sunsets in Naples, FL

One of the best ways to end a fun day on vacation is by sitting back and enjoying the sunset. We want to help you find the best sunsets in Naples, FL when you visit, but there is more to chasing sunsets than just looking west.


Location


The best place to watch the sunset is a matter of debate, but there are some things to look out for to help you determine if the spot you choose is good. The most obvious advice is to avoid places with things blocking your view as the sun gets closer to the horizon. The closer you are to the coast, the better your chances of avoiding obstacles. You can also position yourself to see the sunset between buildings and trees by first looking into where in the western sky the sun will set. In the winter, the sun will set further to the south. In the summer, it sets further to the north.


Timing


Timing is essential for seeing the best sunsets Naples has to offer. The sun will set earlier or later in the evening, depending on the time of year. By knowing when it will set, you can get to your viewing spot before the colorful show begins. During the peak tourist season, this can help you beat traffic or avoid being stuck without a good place to view it, especially if you plan on watching at an outdoor dining spot.


Weather


The weather significantly impacts the type of sunset you will see. You won't see much of the sun if too many large clouds are in the distance on the western horizon. On the other hand, having some clouds close inland is key to seeing the best sunsets in Naples. Having some clouds helps add color and vibrance while having no clouds can result in a seemingly quick sunset.


Be Patient


Patience is our last tip for finding the best sunsets. While it may be tempting to leave early after a long day, you could be missing the best part. As the sun sets, the colors in the sky will change, giving you a slow-motion light show that is a fantastic backdrop for your vacation photos.
