Welcome to Sunset Beach, North Carolina

Sunset Beach sounds like a beautiful place, and it truly is. It is located in the system of islands known as the South Brunswick Islands in North Carolina. The town of Sunset Beach, NC is made up of the smallest island in the set as well as some of the mainland area, where most of the shopping centers, entertainment venues, and government buildings are located.

The town of Sunset Beach strives to keep its beaches pure and unadulterated, and they act as some of the most peaceful areas for endangered wildlife on the eastern coast of the United States. The Bird Island beach front is home to hundreds of wild birds who nest safely in the state park area. You can also find Loggerhead turtles in the area during certain seasons of the year.

Sunset Beach, NC combines beautiful natural areas with rolling sand dunes and plenty of wildlife with a small town atmosphere. Even though it draws lots of tourists every year, it strives to stave off the “touristy” identity. Instead, it remains a charming small Southern town with plenty to see and do.

Like many other Southern cities, Sunset Beach is wrapped in colonial history. You can visit the Fort Anderson Historical Site, the Orton plantation home, and other historical sites within a single day. It’s a great way to mix up your beach vacation with a bit of history and culture for the education of the kids – and even adults! – in your group.

One of the most popular things to do at Sunset Beach is to simply explore the beaches. They’re perfect for walking, since they are wide, sandy, and free from most dangerous sea creatures. It takes a bit of summertime for the surf to warm up enough for all but the bravest swimmers, but many will play in the water during the hottest months of July and August.

North Carolina has been the fastest growing state in the United States. This may be due, in part, to an upsurge in the economy, especially in the engineering, biotechnology and finance sectors. Along the coastal plain are the Outer Banks, a popular tourist destination. The central region, known as the Piedmont, is the most urbanized, where a rapid growth in population has spurred an increase in suburbs and shopping centers.
