For you photographers looking to shoot all the beauty that Georgia has to offer, golden hour makes for some of the best shots. For the rest of you - whether you're hiking, kayaking, or just chillin' at your favorite local spot - catching the sunset is a great excuse to spend the end of your day outside instead of in front of a screen. Check out some of our favorite sunset spots across the state and make plans to end your days outside.
