How to express the beautifulness for the view of sunset behind the sea?

Question

Does this express the meaning:

Besonders schön war der Anblick beim Sonnenuntergang Hinter dem Meer, als ob es das Paradies war.

There's an old german Schlager "Die Capri-Fischer" which contains the well known line "Wenn bei Capri die rote Sonne im Meer versinkt..." Because of this song, I think in German the term "Die Sonne versinkt im Meer" is very common for the sunset at the sea. — IQV, Commented Apr 24, 2018 at 13:34

War das nicht "Wenn bei Capri die rote Flotte im Meer versinkt"? — user unknown, Commented Apr 25, 2018 at 9:17

This would be correct:

Besonders schön war der Anblick, wie die Sonne langsam im Meer versank.

This does sound a bit bumpy to me. I would rather say Besonders schön war der Anblick der langsam im Meer versinkenden Sonne.

... or maybe [...] langsam hinter dem Meer versinkenden [...]. More astronomically correct but less poetic.
