Why Visit Sunset Beach, North Carolina, in the Fall


Fall in North Carolina is truly a magical time of year. If you’re looking to enjoy the beauty and adventure of Sunset Beach, September to November is an ideal time to visit. There are countless reasons why you should reserve a rental from Sunset Vacations during this season, but our team has outlined three of them. Keep reading, and by the end of this blog, you’ll be ready to pack your bags and head out on an autumn escape.

  1. Smaller Crowds

Summer is known for attracting countless visitors to Sunset Beach. However, once school is back in session, the number of vacationers dwindles. This means you don’t have to fight over your top choice of vacation rental. It also means enjoying popular attractions and activities, like the Ingram Planetarium and local restaurants, without the hassle of large crowds. 

  1. Idyllic Weather

As fall settles in, the intense heat of summer fades away. Temperatures start off averaging in the mid-70s and reach mid-50s by November. This means you can spend endless hours outdoors, but be sure to have a light jacket or sweatshirt. While temperatures are pleasant, fall is hurricane season, so be sure to keep an eye out for any hurricane-related alerts.

  1. Endless Adventure

There are countless things to do on a fall getaway to Sunset Beach. Bundle up and go for a sunset stroll along the beach. While you may want to avoid going for a swim, you can still get out on the water on a fishing excursion with local charters like Tideline Charters or North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters. There are also several memorable festivals and events that take place, including the Sunset at Sunset Festival, NC Oyster Festival, and NC Festival by the Sea.
