If you're out on the Coral Bay side of the island, drive past Concordia. There is a little bench on the side of the road. It has great views during the day, and I assume based on its location that it would have pretty great sunrise views. -Jenn

I've seen the sunrise from the Bordeaux Mt. overlook. Very nice.

Beach Bar has a western view, so that is a much better place to catch a sunset.

Anywhere on the east end of the island. When we stayed at Villa Gin de Mer on the East End the sunrises were beautiful. 280* views, so the sunset wasn't bad either. :lol:

"Where is the best place to watch the sunrise ?"
Are you talking villa or from the road or beach or trail?

Villa - We rented Second Wind on Reef Bay, mornings were magnificent if you could survive the intense sunshine. An hour after sunrise it was time to take shelter from the heat.
We rented Bayview, it had a great sunrise over Coral Bay and the East End view as well as a great sunset view. The elevation was much higher than at Second Wind.

From the Road - Bordeaux overlook as mentioned.

From the trail - I would guess that Ram Head would be a nice sunrise view.

From the beach - Haulover North would be nice and easy to get to
Brown Bay would be a great view.

I always get the view from the deck of the villa with a fresh cup of coffee. That's my favorite.
I think my favorite view of sunrise was actually on Cinnamon Beach. We were camped there and while you don't get a direct sunrise view, the beach sure is beautiful when you have it all to yourself with that morning coffee.
