Well, Alaska (and other places near the north and south poles) sees darkness for 6 months out of the year, but there's no where on the suface of Earth that does not see sunshine at all.

The sun shines continually on either pole during it's warmer season, not at all during it's cold season. Otherwise it's pretty much 12 on 12 off everywhere — ON THE SURFACE — except for seasonal variations of a few hours by latitude due to the Earth's axis. It only reaches so far into deep water, never in caverns or windowless rooms, and some thickly wooded places can get pretty dim at ground level. Then there is occasion weather like clouds and fog.
Have you never been told to, 'Put that where the sun don't shine'? Do you know what that means?

There are places on earth where it only shines for 6 months at a time and the other six it doesn't.

Down in caves! Inside buildings! Uh...in volcanic craters near the South Pole!
If the Earth was a perfectly smooth sphere with the same rotation rate, revolution rate and axial tilt as it has right now, then no, there would be no place on the surface that didn't get sunlight at least once in a while.

Yes there is... in the artic circle area such as northern Canada and Alaska, it is dark with no sun at all for several months per year. On the other hand, they also get several months of 24 hour sunshine during the summer!

have been you examining approximately black holes? it would take an incredible volume of gravity to bend the mild around you so which you're able to desire to work out the back of your ear... the only occasion i'm able to think of of is once you're nearing a black hollow (and don't plan on coming back on account which you at the instant are not :P).

Not as far as locations are concerned.. but.. naturally, the sun will not shine at the very deepest part of the ocean... nor in the deepest part of caves

I think your question refers to something bad like,
"You can put that traffic ticket where the sun don't shine!"

Other than up someone's backside, I'd have to say caves and the ocean depths.

Yes, beneath the surface.
