Sunset Beach
Located 44 miles southwest of Wilmington, Sunset Beach remains one of
the last working beach communities in the area. The majority of the
town's residents still make their living from the fishing, shrimping
and crabbing the waters that surround the village. Village residents are
also famous for the custom fishing nets made on the island. People come
from all over the world to buy the handmade nets.
For years, Sunset Beach was known only as a minor tourist destination. The
wide powder sand beaches drew beachgoers in small numbers from around
the region. But somehow, the idyllic beauty of the town remained a
secret from the rest of the world - most of though most of its
residents are happy about that. But more and more, Sunset Beach is
becoming known as a retirement destination because of its easy-going
lifestyle, multitude of recreational activities and proximity to larger
cities.
