Buying a Home in Sunset Beach, North Carolina

Sunset Beach is located in Brunswick County

   Sunset Beach, part of South Brunswick Islands, is one of three barrier island municipalities including Holden Beach & Ocean Isle Beach. The inland towns are Shallotte, Varnamtown, Carolina Shores, and Calabash.

   Sunset Beach is known to have a mild climate with four unique seasons. It was the last of the three beaches to be developed, it is the smallest: only three miles long. Accessible by bridge and a leisurely drive across a salt marsh spotted with long-legged marsh birds. Sunset Beach is also has a small, central commercial district which provides immediate supply needs for its visitors and permanent island residents. Visitors can rent beach cottages, condominiums and motel rooms. Government offices and more residents are incorporated on the mainland side that includes several golf courses, restaurants and additional accommodations. Sunset Beach's wide strand and thick sea oats welcome hundreds of shore birds each morning along with beach walkers from the surrounding communities. Perhaps one of Sunset's greatest charms is land access (at extreme low tide) to North Carolina's southern most undeveloped barrier island, Bird Island.
