Any beach on the Cape Cod Bay side of the island...and there are many wonderful spots. My favorites are Rock Harbor in Orleans, First Encounter in Eastham and Corn Hill in Truro. Actually, one of the reasons we love Eastham on the outer cape is that it is only 3 miles wide from the East side (where the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean is just breathtaking) to the west side (where folks actually applaud once the sun has sunk down into the waters of Cape Cod Bay.) The sun rise and full moon rise are equally beautiful from Fort Hill in Eastham. We stay at Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast in the National Seashore because we can watch the sunrise over the water from our cottage while we sip our morning coffee! And the stars as seen from the top of Fort Hill will knock your socks off!

I would not recommend the trip for the sunsets, but it can be beautiful from 2 different beach spots in Cape May, NJ.Even off-season, it's amazing to see how many sightseerers can suddenly appear at sunset and just as quickly disappear.

For a great East Coast beach sunset, you've gotta check out Menemsha on Martha's Vineyard. It is a summer ritual to bring the kids, the beach chairs, a few bottles of wine, and pick-up some fresh steamed lobsters from Larson's and then sit back and enjoy the marvelous colors at dusk. Also, for more info on year-round things to do on MV check out www.TicketsMV.com, where you can purchase advance tickets to thousands of island events.

I totally agree with MarieF....Madaket beach on Nantucket

Menemsha, Baby! Head to Martha's Vineyard - pure heaven.

Race Point beach..Provincetown Massachusetts. This is Cape Cod by the way for those not familiar with Provincetown MA.

Fabulous sunsets over the Great South Bay viewed from Fire Island (off Long Island, NY). Fire Island has the GSB on its north side and the Atlantic on its south side - and is only two blocks wide in many places. To add to the magic, there are no cars on the island in season. I spend summers there.

"the point" on anna maria island, florida. it's in the gulf of mexico so you can get an AMAZING sunset at the far west side at the end of the island!
