Verified East End sunrise and sunset viewpoints — public overlooks, beaches, vineyard lawns, hotel terraces and the bars people actually book for it — each with the TIME. Call this for any sunset, sunrise, golden hour, blue hour, best-views or where-should-we-watch question, and call it even when you think you know the spot, because the half that decides the evening is the clock. `time` is computed from that spot's own latitude and longitude for that date on the East End's clock (America/New_York): sunset here swings over three hours across the year and Orient and Montauk Point differ by about two minutes, so a remembered time is wrong twice over. You also get `goldenHour` (the hour the light is worth the drive — INTO sunset, OUT OF sunrise), `blueHour`, and `arriveBy`, which is 30 minutes earlier because that is when the lot fills; `parking` and `walkDistance` say why. `startsIn` counts down when it has not happened yet today and `alreadyPassedToday` says when it has — do not offer tonight's number as though it were still coming. Pass `when: 'sunrise'` for the morning side; the default is sunset. Pass `date` (YYYY-MM-DD) to plan ahead, and read `inBestMonth`, because several of these only work in the months the record names. The field no model has is `wrongWayRound`: verified spots in the same towns that face the OTHER way — Ditch Plains reads like a sunset beach and is east-facing, and sending someone there is the mistake this replaces. There is no weather here, so never promise a clear sky. Returns up to 8.
