Madeira Beach Sunset Times and Where to Watch (Oct to Dec 2026)
Sunset times for Madeira Beach, FL, every day from 9 October through 31 December 2026. The sun drops straight into the Gulf here, so the listed time is when it actually goes. Last light is civil dusk, roughly when the sky gives up and the snook start working the dock lights.
Calculated for 27.7975° N, 82.7973° W. Same numbers that are embroidered on The Coordinates Trucker. Clocks fall back on Sunday 1 November, so sunset jumps an hour earlier overnight.
Where to watch it
- John's Pass Park and the jetty. South end of Madeira Beach, Gulf side of the John's Pass bridge. Open horizon, boats coming in through the pass, pelicans on every piling. Metered parking fills early on weekends.
- John's Pass Village boardwalk. Faces the pass more than the Gulf, but you get the fleet lights and dinner within walking distance.
- Archibald Memorial Beach Park. 15100 Gulf Blvd, north end. Quieter. Restrooms, showers, the Snack Shak. City metered parking.
- Anywhere on the sand between. It is a west-facing beach. The sun is not hard to find.
Get there 30 minutes early. Stay 20 after. The color usually shows up after everybody with a phone has already left.

Sunset is a fishing time, not just a photo
The last hour of light and the early hours of dark are when snook move up on the pass and the dock lights. Line it up with an outgoing tide on the John's Pass tide chart and you have the setup for most of the stories we tell. See snook season rules before you keep anything.
