ocean sunset

Sea horizon twilight

An ocean sunset is the setting of the sun as viewed over open water, where the horizon line is unobstructed sea.

The combination of light refracted through marine atmosphere and reflected off waves creates distinctive color displays.

The phrase evokes romantic or contemplative moods: We watched the ocean sunset from the pier.

Often appears in travel marketing and photography.
