Nearly 4,000 people have dug their toes in the sand and decided to call Sunset Beach home, and it’s easy to see why. The city continues to be a hot spot for vacationers, with a more laid-back beach lifestyle than that of more metro beach areas. Sunset Beach just seems to have that niche that many more major cities are missing. To put it simply, it just feels like, home.
What Makes Sunset Beach Special?
As with many coastal towns, the locals have a love for wildlife and have even formed a Turtle Watch Program that helps to protect nesting turtles, and if you’re lucky, you may just get to experience the hatching of Loggerhead turtles as they make their way back to the ocean. With turtle populations in danger, the efforts made by locals makes turtle nesting season a time where locals and vacationers alike marvel in the beauty of nature and wildlife.
