Dining

There are no restaurants directly on the island of Sunset Beach, but there are plenty of options on the mainland and within a short drive in all directions. For your convenience, we have listed as many as we could here including their websites, and even highlighted some of our favorites!

There is a fantastic fresh seafood market, Bill’s Seafood, right at the entrance to the island. Our FAVORITE thing to make is their homemade crabcakes ($5 each) and remoulade sauce. Just shape them into a crabcake and brown in some butter on each side then bake at 350 degrees in the oven for 10 minutes. Delicious!
