Why Live in Sunset Beach

Sunset Beach, North Carolina is a small coastal community along the Intracoastal Waterway in rural Brunswick County, less than 5 miles from the South Carolina line. The town of about 4,500 includes golf communities on the mainland and a barrier island reached by bridge, where a 3-mile beachfront sits beside the nearly 1,500-acre Bird Island Reserve with its marshes, tidelands and shoreline. One of the most distinctive attractions is the Kindred Spirits Mailbox on Bird Island, where visitors leave written reflections in shared notebooks. The Sunset Beach Fishing Pier adds to the local feel with a Thursday-night summer concert series, and people often spread blankets on the sand nearby to listen. Golf is a major draw, with several nearby courses including Sandpiper Bay Golf and Country Club’s three public 9-hole layouts, where alligators are sometimes spotted around the ponds. Homes in Sunset Beach include condos, townhouses and single-family properties, with common styles such as Cape Cod, Minimal Traditional and New Traditional, plus Charleston-style porches and many stilted houses near the beach. Hurricane season runs from June through November, and homes in special flood zones require flood insurance for federally backed loans. Daily needs are met by two small commercial areas along Sunset Boulevard with chain stores and local spots like Sarah’s Kitchen, House’s Patio Bar & Grill and Coastal Grounds, while U.S. Route 17 links residents to hospitals and airports in Little River, Myrtle Beach and Wilmington.
