People who love the coast find Sunset Beach, North Carolina a truly special place. Our picturesque island has a temperate climate without the brutal extremes of summer or winter. Development in the area is limited and our natural beach is unspoiled and uncrowded, the way nature intended a beach to be. Sunset Beach offers one of the widest beaches on the east coast with white fine grained sand that soothes your senses. Perfectly located between Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC, Sunset Beach, NC is conveniently close and yet provides a feeling of “escape from it all.”
The quiet comfort of The Sunset Inn overlooks the beautiful saltwater marsh and Intracoastal Waterway and is just a block away from the ocean. As the sun rises, some guests may sneak a few more winks. Other will enjoy the pastel colors of morning, strolling along the seashore or just rocking on one of our many porches.
Our ten standard rooms and four grand rooms begin a long list of comforts crafted especially for our guests' peace of mind. Beautifully appointed rooms with king-sized beds, private baths, private screened porches, wet bars, large porches, and private storage areas for bikes, golf clubs, beach chairs, etc., all combine to create a relaxed atmosphere that most can only dream about.
