Local Lifestyle
Sunset Beach is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the state, with welcoming avenues, slow driving, and a preference for canals over roads whenever possible.
Living on Sunset Beach is about relaxation. Residents and vacationers come here for the quiet atmosphere and access to beautiful natural resources. This is an island without hubbub and hustle; its streets remain peaceful and nature remains undisturbed. If you see a neighbor, they might be on their way to spot a few local birds.
Things to Do
What is there to do on Sunset Beach? Grab your towel and favorite beach accessories to enjoy pristine beaches all year, with a slightly higher population of beachgoers during the summer vacation season.
However, the best year-round activity on Sunset Beach is Bird Island, just next door. The Bird Island Reserve can be reached by taking a long, picturesque walk along the shore of Sunset Beach. Soon, you will find yourself in the natural bird reserve. Bring your camera and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated during some incredible bird-watching.
You can also reach Bird Island Reserve by boat, taking off perhaps from your own backyard canal pier and circling the island to reach the far shores of Bird Island, where those walking the beach rarely go.
