SUNSET MAP

The sun doesn’t set in the same place all year — it swings about 50° along the horizon. This shows which stretch of Kauai coast is facing it.

FACING IT GOOD GRAZING BEHIND YOU

Shading is the direction each stretch of coast faces versus where the sun meets the horizon. It doesn’t know about the mountains behind you — on the North Shore and along Nā Pali, ridgelines can take the sun early even where the map looks good.
