The Southeastern coast makes up Brunswick Coastal. These islands feature sandy white powder beaches, bright blue water and amazing red and gold sunsets. North Carolina Brunswick Beaches, and Brunswick Islands are amongst the most beautiful on the east coast.
Other beach communities have a lot of traffic and noise due to increased development and commercialism, but you won’t find high rises and buildings or the bright glow of neon lights along our area of the NC coast.
If it is your first time experiencing the wonders of the brilliant stars in a black sky over the ocean or if it has just been so long that it seems new to you, you can actually see at the sky at night and discover (or rediscover) how vividly the bright stars can shine.

When people hear the term “barrier islands” in North Carolina, they usually think of the Outer Banks. But, southeastern North Carolina, particularly Brunswick County, is lined with barrier islands beginning at Bald Head Island and working west (yes, west) to the most southern town in North Carolina: Sunset Beach.
Sunset Beach is home to the Bird Island Reserve, a 1,481-acre dedicated nature preserve, where visitors and residents can view rare species of seabeach amaranth, eastern painted bunting, wood stork and diamondback terrapins.
