Sunset Beach and Bird Island are the Southernmost Islands of North Carolina’s Brunswick Barrier Islands. Access is by a one lane pontoon bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway. Sunset Beach has more of a “beachcomber” feeling than the larger beaches on the Grand Strand. As you walk toward the west end of the beach it joins with Bird Island, a 1,300 acre uninhabited state preserve, that provides important habitat and nesting areas for threatened or endangered birds as well as the Loggerhead Sea Turtle. |
