Many people who vacation in Sunset Beach, NC are from nearby areas and choose to drive into the beach town. This can be a convenient option, since it means that your car is already with you. However, if you live too far away or simply don’t relish the thought of a seven hour car ride with a toddler or two in the back seat, you can always fly into town and take a shuttle to Sunset Beach.

The two closest airports to Sunset Beach are the Wilmington International Airport and the Myrtle Beach International Airport. The Wilmington Airport is about an hour and ten minutes from the center of Sunset Beach, and the Myrtle Beach Airport is about forty-five minutes away. However, the Wilmington Airport is slightly larger, so it may be easier to find flexible flights into and out of it, and the flights there are also likely to be slightly cheaper than flights to the smaller airport at Myrtle Beach.

In order to get to Sunset Beach from either of these airports, you have several options. You could rent a car at the airport car rental kiosks, or you could take a taxi. The airports also have special shuttles that go out to all of the resort towns, and they might also present an affordable option for getting to the town from one of the airports.

Both of these airports also have shuttle bus and taxi services that can get you into Sunset Beach in no time. In order to use one of these services, simply find their kiosks at the airport and call a cab or get a shuttle ticket. This isn’t quite as convenient, since you have to wait on other people or a set schedule before you can get going, but it’s probably cheaper than renting a car, especially if you’re going to walk around in Sunset Beach and live without a car for a week or two of vacation.
