About Sunset Beach

Learn more about the host city, Sunset Beach.

Sunset Beach is a town in Brunswick County, on the North Carolina Coastal Plain. Sunset Beach received its name from the beautiful sunrises and sunsets that can be seen from the island due to its unique southern exposure. Beyond the sunsets, this beach is also known for its powdery white sand and its swing bridge; which was the last one in these islands before it became a museum. Another unique feature of the island is Bird Island, an undeveloped and secluded island that is now attached to Sunset Beach's island. The inland side of Sunset features several golf courses, Ingram Planetarium and Sea Trail Golf Resort & Convention Center.
