All about Sunset Beach
Like many of the neighboring beach towns that comprise North Carolina’s Brunswick Islands, the community of Sunset Beach was established in the 1950s, when developers staked out its picturesque beach as a vacation destination. But most people don’t realize how remarkable this small town’s strip of sand really is: It’s been named as one of the world’s best beaches. Stunning sunsets are only half the story of this oceanfront town, where vacation homes and cottages line a two-mile residential strip, each block with its own boardwalk. Inland, a trio of lush golf resorts draws golfers from all over the country, while nature buffs retreat to the quiet sanctuary of the Bird Island Preserve.
What are the top things to do in Sunset Beach?
Old Bridge Museum
Until fairly recently, Sunset Beach was accessible from the mainland only via an old-fashioned single-lane swing bridge. Connected to roads on either side of the Intracoastal Waterway, the entire bridge pivoted, rather than raised, to let boats pass at scheduled times. Though this often caused traffic headaches during Sunset Beach’s busy summer season, many locals felt it reinforced the town’s relaxed pace. The former bridge was preserved when it was finally replaced in 2010 by a traditional arc bridge similar to other Brunswick Islands destinations. Now anchored on land and maintained by the Old Bridge Preservation Society, you can walk the old bridge at your leisure — without waiting on traffic.
Bird Island
Walk along the sand to the western end of Sunset Beach’s residential strip, and you’ll eventually cross over into the Bird Island Coastal Reserve, 1,481 acres of natural shoreline, marshland, and dunes. One of ten sites comprising North Carolina’s Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve, Bird Island is a safe haven for significant regional plant and animal species that are endangered, protected, or otherwise of interest, including the area’s well-known loggerhead sea turtles.
Golfing
Sunset Beach’s collection of golf courses are some of the best in the region, designed by the sport’s top visionaries and enjoyed by players of all skill levels. The newest course, Leopard’s Chase, is considered one of the best in the country, while Thistle’s Scottish-themed-trio of 9-hole links are also worth a visit.
