🌅 A sunset over the Strait of Georgia from Point Roberts, WA is pure coastal poetry—especially in summer when the sun dips behind the Gulf Islands around 9:20 PM, casting golden light across the water and silhouetting distant peaks like Mount Baker and Vancouver Island.
📍 Best Sunset Viewing Spots
- Lighthouse Marine Park: The boardwalk and beach offer unobstructed west-facing views
—perfect for golden hour photography, whale watching, or a quiet picnic
- BREAKERS SITE: Near the abandoned building, the shoreline adds rustic charm and a nostalgic vibe to the sunset scene
- Gulf Road Overlook: At the end of Gulf Road, you’ll find panoramic views of the Strait, the Gulf Islands, and the Olympic Mountains on clear evenings
🌊 What Makes It Magical
- Reflections: Calm water often mirrors the sky’s colors—lavender, coral, and deep indigo
- Wildlife Cameos: Orcas, seals, and seabirds frequently pass through during twilight
- Quietude: With few crowds and minimal light pollution, it’s one of the most peaceful sunset spots in the Pacific Northwest
Point Roberts sunsets are like nature’s slow exhale—quiet, colorful, and unforgettable.
