Q: What makes a good sunset in Coromandel?

The Coromandel Peninsula faces the Firth of Thames to the west, giving ocean horizon sunsets with forested hills behind.

What makes a good sunset in Coromandel?

The Coromandel Peninsula has water on multiple sides, but it's the western shoreline facing the Firth of Thames that gives you the sunset angles. The rolling volcanic hills drop straight to the water, and the best viewpoints are the elevated points along the west coast road where you can see over the harbor. Summer evenings are long and warm. Light scattered cloud above a clear horizon makes for the strongest color here, which is exactly the condition GoldCast scores well.
