sunset beach: Black Friday ~ - 11/25/11 06:37 AM
You can shop anytime you want, anywhere on the Internet, so why are we coaxed to shop on Black Friday?  My opinion, I would rather relax, spend some quality time with family and friends. 
We decided to spend another afternoon at Sunset Beach, soaking up the rays, relaxing, taking a walk with friends and enjoying the sunny,cloudless, warm temperatures we have enjoyed for the past eight years on Sunset Beach. 
We plan to shop local on Saturday to support local businesses!!
Enjoy your day no matter what you decide to do!!  We know we will here on Sunset Beach!

Reflections of Hurricane Irene in Sunset Beach, NC


Last night we encountered the most beautiful sky as the evening approached. I stood outside staring and reflecting in wonderment, how only a few hours ago the appearance was so contrasting. Life, as we know it, moves so swiftly by us.
Was Hurricane Irene an awakening for some, a reminder...
Are we embracing life or just living it day by day?

Sunset Beach, NC  “Where is our BOAT RAMP”Four years have gone by and the town of Sunset Beach, NC is still without a boat ramp. An informal boat launch on the island causeway was closed in June 2008 to make way for the new $44 million high-rise bridge that opened in November, 2010.
At a recent town meeting, Sunset Beach Town Administrator Gary Parker “guesstimates” the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is “poised” to start construction of the planned waterway facility located across the street from Twin Lakes Restaurant later this year. Projected completion will be next summer, 2012.
