It’s an escape from city life at Sunset Ridge, one of North Carolina’s most attractive coastal communities. Wander off to the white sandy beaches a short four miles away, or head to the world-renown 18-hole golf course in your own backyard. Whether you need a family vacation or just a private getaway, Sunset Ridge offers the best of luxury living with easy access to the marina, recreational facilities, and beautiful landscaping and architecture to enjoy throughout the community.
Sunset Ridge is located just seven minutes from Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. A peaceful, serene, and nearly picture-perfect community awaits to offer some of the best options for coastal living. The resident population of Ocean Isle Beach is just 425, with annual visitors of approximately 25,000 and more. This family-friendly area is home to a number of museums, beachfront activities, miniature golf, and shopping plazas to keep the whole family entertained for any length of stay.
Tree-lined streets beckon for a stroll through the neighborhood, and you may even stumble upon a park or trail along the way. Mild temperatures during Spring and Fall ensure you can enjoy nature at its best, and even rainy days here don’t leave you missing out on the fun – just head to the clubhouse at the golf course to meet with friends and family, or dine at one of the world-class seafood restaurants for the evening.
With Myrtle Beach and Wilmington just a short drive away, it’s easy to see why many people enjoy both luxury living by day, and an exciting social life by night. Restaurants, entertainment venues, and attractions are just a few options to keep your schedule booked with fun activities and events throughout the year. If your looking for something to do head to Devils Ridge Golf Club for a round of golf with the neighbors, or Sunset Ridge Racquet and Swim Club to relax at the pool.
Some one who wants to explore a bit more can simply .head to the north of Sunset Ridge for the Myrtle Beach Grand Strand, the coast with over thirty attractive golf courses offering different challenges, manicured lawns, and pine forests. Ocean Isle Beach is also home to a number of malls, outlet shops, and boutiques where you might pick up souvenirs and handmade gifts from local artisans.
Fishing enthusiasts can explore the creeks and streams with a fishing charter boat. Ocean Isle Beach visitors can take a number of deep sea fishing trips throughout the year, and charter boats are available year round for a unique adventure. Most fishing trips head off the Gulf Stream Inland Creeks, and offers yet another opportunity to explore the water. May through October is turtle watching season, and is a popular event for locals and visitors alike. Head to the coast to watch the nesting and hatching of sea turtles, and explore the museums and other attractions along the beach.
After a day of fun and adventure on the beach or exploring the nearby towns, Sunset Ridge is sure to welcome you home. Whether you prefer to relax on the porch or just take a walk around the neighborhood, you’ll feel right at home in this beautiful coastal community.
