When the sun rises in this view

For most of the year the sun rises straight out of the sea in this frame: around the equinoxes just left of centre, in winter on the right. With nothing on the horizon, it appears a minute or two after the official sunrise time.

From late May to mid-July it rises a little further north, just beyond the left edge of this view.

The sunrise moves along the horizon through the year, so walk a few metres along the beach if you want the sun framed by the boardwalk.
