The best sunsets in Florida
You've booked yourself a beachside vacation rental and after a long trip you're spending your first evening soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the stunning water. The perfect way to round off the day? Watching the sunset from the perfect spot - be it sat on the beach, cocktail in hand, from a romantic table in a fine restaurant, or from the poolside in your rental - here are our recommendations on the best places to view the perfect sunset in Florida.
Usually, you would want to head west to watch a sunset so that you can see out to the horizon in the ocean - but the great thing about Florida is that it's quite flat, so has huge skies. You can enjoy the sunset from nearly any location and enjoy the colors and magic of the twilight sky.
The further north you are in the state, the slower the sunset will be, as the further south you go, the more straight down the sun will set.
