The 12 Best Places to See the Sunset Around the World

"As the westernmost state in the U.S., Hawaii is perfectly placed for gorgeous sunsets. Head to Kailua Bay on the Big Island to watch the sun drop into the ocean against a backdrop of dark, volcanic rocks, or drive up the coast to Hapuna Beach State Park for a sunset view silhouetted against one of the state's best white-sand beaches. No matter where you go, bring a picnic to enjoy as the sun’s rays turn the sky and water into an orange-and-pink light show." - Travel + Leisure Editors
