What makes a good sunset in Moorea?

Moorea is one of the most dramatic volcanic island shapes in Polynesia: jagged peaks, deeply cut bays, and a lagoon wrapped around the whole thing. Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay are the most photographed, with peaks rising directly from the water at the head of each inlet. The western coast faces the Pacific with open horizon shots from the beach. Moorea also appears as a silhouette across the water from Tahiti at sunset, which is a strong composition in its own right. Dry season from May through October brings the most reliable clear skies.
