Falmouth's position on one of the world's deepest natural harbours gives it properly good sunset potential across a few different spots.
A free clifftop walk with genuinely sweeping views — bring your own drink, or grab something beforehand, and watch the light change over the water.
A characterful harbour-front pub with proper views for watching the boats as the light fades — can get busy, which adds to the atmosphere.
A excellent harbourside pub with lovely views over the water, open to non-residents of the hotel it sits within.
Checking sunset time for your specific date and arriving thirty minutes early gives the best chance of catching the full display.
The walk out is flat and properly easy, realistic even after a full day of sightseeing rather than something that demands fresh legs at the end of the day.
A blanket and your own drinks work well at Pendennis Point specifically, since it's a viewpoint rather than a licensed venue.
