Forbes Traveler lists the world’s most beautiful sunsets. They are:
- Sicily, Italy
- Atacama Desert, Chile
- Tahiti
- Melbourne, Australia
- Fire Island, New York
- Ban Talae Nok, Thailand
- Srinagar, India
- Manuel Antonio Beach, Costa Rica
- Reykjavik, Iceland
- Santorini, Greece
While we can’t dispute the beauty of the sunsets on their list, for us, we experience the best sunset of anyplace in the world right here in Dumbo. From the Brooklyn Bridge Park, the sun sets just beyond the Brooklyn Bridge, and brings out vivid colors that bounce off the Manhattan buildings, the red brick of the Empire Stores, and off the white facades of former industrial warehouses. Every sunset seen in Dumbo forms brilliant reds, oranges, yellows, and purples and it’s difficult to capture the lighting vs seeing it in person. No two are alike. Wouldn’t you agree?
