 Sunset Beach
is a seaside town in Brunswick County, North Carolina. It is part of
the Myrtle Beach metropolitan area. It got its start in 1955 when the
land it occupies was bought by a property developer. Development began
in earnest with the completion of a bridge connecting the beach island
to the mainland in 1958. Sunset Beach was incorporated as a town in
1963. On February 15, 2021, an EF3 tornado hit the north side of town
around midnight, damaging multiple homes in several neighborhoods, including
some that were completely destroyed. Three people were killed and 10
others were injured.
It is the last developed Atlantic Ocean beach before the South Carolina
border. One-third of the town's area occupies a barrier island between
the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway; the remainder of the town extends
onto the mainland to the north. Undeveloped Bird Island is directly
to the west, Calabash is the closest town to the west on the mainland,
and Ocean Isle Beach is to the east.
