Sunsets benefit most from dust in the air. So, arid areas tend to have the most spectacular colors. I prefer sunsets in the US in the Intermountain West.

- :) Thanks again! I'm curious because (in case you didn't read a previous comment of mine) one of my life goals is to visit 365 places and was the sunrises and sunsets in each place. I want to be sure I'm not missing a spectacular place.

Sunrise...Godley Heads...at the tip of Banks Peninsula Christchurch New Zealand. It's a bit of a scary walk to get there in the dark (so take a torch).

Sunset...Lake Tekapo New Zealand in winter with the snow on the mountains and as the sun goes down the snow glows orange and the lake turns to colours impossible to describe. Beautiful! Tekapo is also know as one the best places in the world to watch the night sky. I lived there for a year and cried when I had to leave.

- They both sound gorgeous! Thank you, Algernon!

Near the coast is wonderful. I love the sunsets over water. IN the Pacific Northwest what with the rocks and cliffs, the sunsets are very scenic. And I remember some awesome sunsets from "Beetle Rock" in Sequoia National Park. There is a Sunset Rock but I prefer Beetle Rock. Disney once made a film all about a whole day on beetle rock and so I had to see if it was like they said and they were right. It was awesome.
Comments
- Thank you, Galeanda! I agree--sunsets over water are amazing. I'll be sure to go to Beetle Rock.

Doesnt matter where it is. A sunset or sunrise is beautiful anywhere you are. Watching it alone or with someone equally as beautiful..doesnt matter.
Comments
- Definitely agree. Thanks, Justme!

sunrise over the ocean at Rohobeth, Delaware and sunsets over Rohobeth Bay or Race Point at the tip of Cape Cod, Mass. for either
Comments
- Thank you, Gabby!
  
  My goal is to visit 365 places in my lifetime (the number might grow later on) and watch the sunrise and sunset there. I'm curious about which places I definitely should not miss. I'll make a point to visit both those those towns. :) +

At Manila Bay: the sun, in various shades of red, orange, pink, or golden yellow, setting over Manila Bay. Just google-image "Manila Bay sunset" to view photos of this world-famous sunset. Bookdoc is right: sunset in Manila is the most beautiful, because the heavy dust and pollution there break the light into stunning colors.

In California the state laws require that you must use your headlights 30 minutes after sunset and leave them on until 30 minutes before sunrise. Sunset was 7:56pm. That should be 8:26pm right? Do I fight this ticket? I was pulled over at 8:25pm.
