Sunset Tavern

Karumba is one of the only towns in Queensland where the sun sets over the water. The suitably named Sunset Tavern on the waterfront offers a great spot for sunset views. It is the middle of the social scene for this seaside community.

The open plan architecture of the tavern reflects a far North Queensland design that maximises shade and air ventilation.

Sightseer numbers greatly increase just before sunset as photographers gather at the sea wall to snapshot the brilliant colours as the sun disappears into the Arafura Sea.

Amateurs with disposable cameras and serious professionals with all the accessories alike, recognise stunning water reflections on sandbanks, bird life and astounding water pools illuminated in rich colours.
