After dinner, I said to Sherry – “Want to go to Sunset Beach – get ice cream and stand on the deck”?

That is Southern Beach Living!

Living the Salt Life!

Our view of the Gazebo on Sunset Beach where we stood with our cups of small ice cream!

This is where the bathrooms – showers and free parking are!

If you turn around – you are looking at the beach – pier and ocean – we stood here and a bonus – there was live music on the pier we could listen to – that is why all the people faced the pier!

Looking West from this spot – the dunes – the pay-for parking lot – and the first row of houses – oceanfront means long walkways over the protected dunes to the beach and ocean!

Because the coastline here is on a curve – the beach faces almost South and a little bit East!

From Charleston, S.C. to Wilmington, N.C. the coast looks like a quarter-moon crescent!

Sort of like a huge coastline bay!

Most storms come up from Charleston and then make a beeline to Wilmington – Cape Fear River area and then onto the Outer Banks!

I believe the last Hurricane to cause disaster damage was in the 50s!

Sea oats on the dune – we can be here in 15 minutes – but we have the island – the ICW and the main coastline between us and the ocean.

So far we have experienced a tropical storm and a grade 1 Hurricane, a number 2 is pushing it for me – but could remain – it is the wind and the trees I fear the most!

Living the Salt life – choosing to be here – living life one day at a time!

Thanks for reading and as always HGD!
