Sunset in Split
Saturday, June 13, 2026
Face northwest to see tonight's sunset in Split.
Use the map's direction line to align your viewing position before sunset.
Today's Split sunset time and exact direction are shown below, updated daily. The map shows the sunset line from anywhere across the city — from Marjan Hill down to the waterfront.
Split sunset drops toward the western Adriatic horizon, shifting northwest in summer and southwest in winter. Marjan Hill peninsula extends westward into the sea, placing it directly in the path of the setting sun with open water on three sides.
In Split, sunset shifts between northwest in summer and southwest in winter.
Marjan Hill offers the clearest western sea horizon in Split with minimal obstruction. Ground-level positions on the western peninsula beaches see the full sunset arc over open water.
Best viewing is 20–30 minutes before sunset. The view from Marjan Hill's summit takes in the full coastline north and south as the sun drops toward the Adriatic — one of the most expansive sunset scenes on the Dalmatian coast.
Split sunset shifts northwest in summer and southwest in winter, changing which sections of the Marjan peninsula and western coastline align most directly with the setting sun.
The Vidilica viewpoint at the top of Marjan Hill is Split's finest sunset position — a wide panorama over the city, the islands, and the open Adriatic. Kasjuni Beach on the western side of Marjan is a quieter sea-level alternative.
