Alfred Hitchcock once claimed that the sunsets in Zadar are the most beautiful in the world.
After spending a few days there I have to say I completely agree with him, as all the sunsets I’ve been able to witness have been nothing short of amazing.
Zadar sunsets are a brilliant red/pink colour
Possibly one of my favourite photos I've taken on this trip so far.
Due to all the islands along the Croatian coast, Zadar is one of the few places on the mainland where the Sun sets on the water.
I loved sitting and watching the reflections of the Sun on the surface of the water.
The sunset in black and white with a touch of red.
I love the beautiful variations of colours in the sky after the sun sets.
Zadar has definitely had the best sunsets of my trip so far.
Where’s your favourite place to watch the sun set?

In July 2011 I left England for what was supposed to be a one year trip around the world. Within a few months of leaving I knew that a year would never be enough. I now work online and travel permanently, seeking misadventures in unique, beautiful and fascinating places. Read more.
I'm here to show you how not to travel. Since I've been on the road I've been "poked" during a massage in Bangkok, punched a scammer in Shanghai, been attacked by monkeys in Bali, sat next to a dead woman on a boat in Laos and so much more. I call these The Incidents and you can see a full list of them here.
Loving the photos! Sunsets are one of my obsessions. Shame I don’t remember so nice sunsets from Zadar when I visited in 1996 :)

I’m obsessed with sunsets too! I love them.
That pink – red sea just cries: “Daddy’s flown across the ocean…” That’s wonderful, Lauren. I wonder though have you visited islands like Hvar or Brač and checked their even more beautiful sunsets. Btw, I’m impressed with your knowledge about places you visit and some details that even I wasn’t aware of. You’ve done your homework, girl!
Thanks Mimo!
I spent a few days in Brac, and also visited Pag too. Didn’t get a chance to see many sunsets there though.
Gorgeous photos – I love a beautiful sunset!

Out-of-the-worldly pics! Have they been photoshopped?!
I’ve seen some very beautiful sunsets on west coast of India. e.g. http://idrinkmyteasweet.com/2011/06/01/wednesday-wanderings-sunset-at-gokarna/
That last photo is AWESOME. Such gorgeous sunsets…and I bet even though the pics are beautiful…it was probably even better in person.
These are some amazing photos! The first picture looks like a red laser beam was shot out from the horizon.

Up until this post I didn’t know Zadar existed. These are some great photos and I also love sunsets.
Thanks Thomas! I hadn’t heart of Zadar either before I left for my trip
When I went to Aruba, I captured some jaw dropping sunset photos, but I honestly LOVE these. Thank you for sharing them!
