Be on the shore before the light is.

II
The line-up finder
Stand where you want to shoot, point your phone's compass at the lighthouse, the bridge or the tree, and enter the bearing. Bay Hours lists every day in the next year that the sun rises or sets within one degree of it.
Free: the next two dates. Every date in the year: Bay Hours Pass.
