Best Places In Victoria For Sunset Views

Before the COVID-19 crisis and before our movements were restricted, many of us probably took for granted Victoria’s gorgeous sunsets and stunning views.

What we used to ignore and gave less attention to, now seems important. Simple things like watching sunsets, going for a drive, and enjoying stunning views are things we are starting to appreciate that little bit more.

Now that COVID-19 restrictions are slowly being lifted, it’s important that we don’t take these little things for granted. Do you miss watching sunsets? We do.

Therefore, we have come up with a list of the best places to watch sunsets in Victoria. Now that we are free to go out and travel again, watching sunsets seems like the best way to enjoy the beauty of nature and be thankful for what we have in our own backyard.

Sunsets have a magical power that seems to draw out our emotions and make us feel appreciative and thankful.

With that in mind, let’s take a look now at the best places to watch sunsets in Victoria.

1). Mungo National Park, Mungo

The Mungo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a protected National Park. Its rugged, desert, moon-like terrain turns orange when the sunsets. Watching the sunset here will feel like an out of this world experience. The sunsets here are simply stunning!

6). Cape Woolamai, Phillip Island

With breath-taking ocean views of Bass Strait and the Pinnacles, the ancient pink granite in the area acts as a beautiful foreground with the equally beautiful sunset as the backdrop. The drive to Cape Woolamai is just as enjoyable and scenic as the sunset views.
