Sunset Beach NC

The smallest Brunswick Barrier Island, Sunset Beach is the the southernmost, located near the South Carolina line. Sunset Beach is divided from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway which is only crossable by driving across the only remaining pontoon bridge on the East Coast.

A wooden bridge takes you across a beautiful pristine salt marshes on either side, divided by the canals that cut through the marsh land. As you approach the island a sense of the serinety of the small island of Sunset Beach is apparent. The road onto Sunset Beach comes to an end at Sunset Blvd. just across from the main entrance onto the beach, graced by the Alantic Ocean which spans in front of you as far as the eye can see. The view is only made more dramatic by the east-west alignment of the island, like the other South Brunswick Barrier Islands.

Although it was the last area island to be developed, Sunset Beach has remarkably grown to an almost built-out stage of developement. But with its wide snow-white sand beaches, huge dune ridges, and marsh areas, Sunset Beach continues to have a very natural and secluded feeling. Only three miles long, Sunset Beach is known for its wide brach strand and thick sea oats which attract hundreds of shore birds.

Bird Island is an undeveloped barrier island at the west end of Sunset Beach beside the North Carolina and South Carolina line. Wildlife thrives here, some of which are endangered or threatened, and adding plans for an excursion on this haven of nature is recommended.
