I have always lived on the east coast and rarely experience the sun slowly fading to red over the horizon. For me the sun just gets obscured by trees or mountains, then it's dark.
There is something about the red light of the sun over the water that signals the end of the day and makes your body unwind and relax.
so true! I call them fruit punch bowl sunsets cause on most days, especially during the summer in San Diego, the hues are incredible and deep. it's the best way to end a day at the beach, imo. I miss it so much.
that said, the water on the East Coast is amazing, so I guess it's a trade off. I was always scared of swimming in the ocean until I went to Miami and then I fell in love with it and never wanted to get out lol.
