This live stream looks out from the fishing pier at Sunset Beach, a barrier island community on the southern coast of North Carolina.

About Sunset Beach
Sunset Beach sits on a narrow barrier island at the mouth of the Shallotte River, just across the state line from South Carolina. The island is known for its wide sandy beaches, quiet residential streets and a relaxed pace compared with larger resort towns on the coast. Its low elevation means the shoreline and dunes are shaped constantly by tides, storms and wind, so conditions can change quickly from one day to the next.
What the camera shows
The camera is aimed at the fishing pier, so its view is mainly of the ocean, the waves breaking along the shoreline and the beach stretching in both directions. Early morning often brings calmer water and clearer skies, while late afternoon is popular for the sunsets the island is named after. Summer usually shows the busiest beach, whereas on overcast or windy days you may see rougher surf and fewer people on the sand.
Planning a visit
The area has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, muggy summers and mild winters. Late spring through early fall is the most popular season for swimming and fishing from the pier. Nearby cameras include Ocean Isle Beach at Fishing Pier and Jinks Creek, and the Ocean Isle Marina & Yacht Club view across Brunswick County, which are useful for comparing conditions along the coast.
