Sunset Beach Island Parking Recommendations

The goal of this section of the Town’s Website is to communicate to our citizens regarding the current Sunset Beach Island Parking Study.  


2025.01.09 - In preparation to designate parking spots in the Island, letters from Town Staff were mailed to Island property owners on Main Street asking for their assistance in:

  • Clearing objects from the Town's right-of-way in front of their property,

  • Working with Town staff to designate their driveways in accordance with the Town's Unified Development Ordinance, and

  • Designating the best mailbox location to ensure easy mail delivery.

    Our goal in carrying out this plan is to have property owners and Town officials work together to make decisions that are in the best interest of both parties. Obviously, this process will take time and positive communication between both parties. We strongly believe good decisions can be made that create a safer environment throughout the summer along Main Street.
