How sunset over water works

The sun sets over the water only when the shore faces within about 35 degrees of the sunset direction, which moves from the southwest in winter to the northwest in summer. A west-facing beach has it most of the year; a south- or north-facing one has it for a few months at either end.

How we verify sunset over water

The shore's facing direction is computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. The sun sets over the water in a given month when the sunset azimuth is within 35 degrees of that direction. Months are listed on each beach. Sources and methodology
