New Zealand's Most Gentle Sunset | Devonport | Discover Auckland's Most Beautiful View

📍If you ask me where to watch the sunset in Auckland, I would definitely say: Take a ferry to Devonport. This is not a tourist attraction, but a corner of the world where sunsets reside. 🚢How to get there? It only takes 12 minutes by ferry from Auckland city center. The ticket currently costs NZD $13, and on a good weather day, you can enjoy views of the bay and city skyline along the way. Once you disembark, it's just a 5-minute walk to the sunset viewing spot. 🌇Where to watch the sunset? 🔺Mount Victoria I recommend heading up the hill around 5:30 PM. It only takes 10–15 minutes to reach the summit. From the top, you can see the entire Auckland harbor and the silhouette of the Sky Tower skyline. The sunset paints the sea in golden-red hues, making you feel like you've stepped into a postcard. 🏖️Beach Boardwalk & Seaside Benches If you’re not up for hiking, no worries—the beach near the pier is stunning. You can enjoy an ice cream while feeling the sea breeze and watching the sun dip into the water. 📝Recommended photo angles ✔️ From the summit, looking towards the city center: sunset + city skyline + fiery sky. ✔️ Backlit portraits on the boardwalk: silhouettes + sunlight shimmering on the sea. ✔️ Footprints on the beach + distant sailboats: capturing gentle moments of your journey. 🧡The sunset here is a little different. This isn’t a place where tour groups will take you, but the sunset here is truly "New Zealand"— quiet, slow, warm, gentle, unpretentious, yet unforgettable. If you have a free evening, make sure to catch a ferry and spend some time here.
