Chasing Views: Where to Watch the Best Sunsets

As the humid air cools down this fall, September is the perfect time to take your Boston Whaler to see some breathtaking sunset views. From the waters of Key West, Florida, to the quaint shoreline of Cannon Beach, Oregon, this list provides the top 10 places to enjoy spectacular sunsets from the comfort of your own boat. 

Key West, Florida:

If you are hoping to enjoy warm summer breezes even as the fall months come, Key West, Florida, offers amazing sunsets and weather at Florida’s southernmost point. The tropical climate will stay hot throughout the season, so a boat ride at sunset is the perfect way to wrap up a day in the sun.  
 

Siesta Key Beach, Florida:

Farther north on the Gulf shores of Florida is Siesta Key Beach, Sarasota’s beachfront. Siesta Key is the perfect, relaxed location for a warm, fall boat ride. The white sandy beaches and soft waves supply an easy and beautiful sunset viewing experience.
 

Outer Banks, North Carolina:

The Outer Banks islands that line the coast of North Carolina offer historic sites and a biodiverse environment, providing unique sunset vistas. The flat terrain allows you to see all angles of the amazing OBX coastline scenes. 
 

Savannah, Georgia:

If you love charming historic cityscapes, Savannah, Georgia, is the perfect location to take out your Boston Whaler for a sunset ride. Close to the Georgia coast, Savannah lies along the Savannah River, supplying the perfect opportunity to admire a riverside sunset within the historic city itself. 
 

Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts:

If you want a chillier evening boat ride on the east coast, farther north on the Atlantic sits the iconic Martha’s Vineyard. As the summer crowd leaves the popular vacation spot, fall is a wonderful time to take in the cliffs and multiple colonial-era lighthouses as the sun sets. 

Cape Cod, Massachusetts:

Slightly north of Martha’s Vineyard is another popular summer vacation spot that will clear out just in time to appreciate the amazing fall sunsets. Cape Cod Bay has incredible views of colonial architecture, hidden harbors, and coves, all of which you appreciate during a sunset cruise on your Boston Whaler. 
 

Navy Pier, Chicago, Illinois:  

For an urban sunset experience, take your Boston Whaler out around Chicago’s Navy Pier. The chilly fall air and the iconic Chicago skyline is a unique setting to your sunset boat ride on Lake Michigan. 
 

Sleeping Bear Dunes, Michigan:

On the other side of Lake Michigan, opposite to Chicago’s Navy Pier, sits the famous Sleeping Bear Dunes. This area of the Great Lakes has amazing clear waters and incredible views of the huge sandy dunes, creating a memorable experience for our Michigan sunset chasers.
 

Cannon Beach, Oregon:

Whether you are a mountain lover or a Goonies fanatic, Cannon Beach in Oregon provides the perfect backdrop for a stunning sunset. The rugged, rocky shoreline offers sites from Haystack Rock, as seen in the opening scene of the Goonies, to the astonishing surrounding mountain-scape. These are perfect to enjoy on a chilly evening out on the water at sunset.
 

La Jolla, California:

The final location for a stunning sunset boat ride is La Jolla, California. La Jolla has an amazing, rugged coastline featuring rocky cliffs by the sea. Take in the sea breeze and palm tree views at sunset in this beautiful location for an evening boat ride. 
 

From the East Coast to the West Coast, this September is the perfect time to enjoy the last of the warm summer breezes, while taking in the breathtaking sunsets that come with the fall season. Whether you are seeking adventure or relaxation, these 10 sunset spots offer picturesque scenery as well as interesting outings ashore, providing amazing views and memories in and out of your Boston Whaler.
