Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Sunset Beach?
The best area to stay in Sunset Beach is on the island itself, particularly along West Main Street or Sunset Boulevard, for direct beach access and convenience.

The island is connected to the mainland by a single swing bridge, which adds to its exclusive feel. Along West Main Street and Sunset Boulevard, you'll find a mix of holiday rentals, from charming cottages to larger beach houses, many with direct paths to the sand. The area around the pier is a central point, offering easy access to the beach and local eateries.

For families, staying on the island is ideal. You're just steps from the ocean, making it simple to go back and forth for snacks, naps, or forgotten beach toys. The quiet streets are great for evening strolls, and children can easily enjoy the wide, uncrowded beaches.

Couples looking for a relaxing escape will also appreciate the island's low-key environment. The sound of the waves is a constant, and many accommodations offer balconies with ocean views, superb for enjoying sunrises or sunsets together.
When is the best time to go to Sunset Beach?
The best time to go to Sunset Beach is typically during the shoulder seasons of May, early June, and September, or during the peak summer months of July and August.

For those looking for warm weather and all attractions to be fully open, July and August are ideal. The ocean temperatures are at their highest, making it great for swimming and watersports. This is also when the island is most active, with a full schedule of local events and restaurant openings. Families often find these months great for a traditional beach holiday, with plenty of activities for children and warm evenings for strolls along the shore.

If you prefer slightly milder weather, fewer crowds, and potentially better value on accommodation, May, early June, and September are excellent choices. The ocean is still warm enough for swimming, especially in September, and the weather is generally pleasant for outdoor activities like cycling or exploring the nature trails.
