TUESDAY TREASURES ~ Unusual Finding on Sunset Beach Today was a day to meet friends, walk on the beach and relax. It's not often I take a break from our business but friends were in town visiting from Connecticut and the weather was gorgeous ~ Perfect day for a walk on Sunset Beach.

Weekends are a must. Static vegetation lines were the issue of homesites on Oak Island on Saturday.  Our clients really can't believe the way people take care of their homes in Oak Island.
