How well do you know the coastline along the Carolinas? It may come as a surprise to learn that the southern, tippy end of Sunset Beach, North Carolina is technically located in South Carolina.
According to all-knowing Google Maps, there’s a secluded South Carolina beach across the Little River Inlet that most South Carolinians probably aren’t even aware is in their home state.

So, congrats to South Carolina for gaining a beach you’ve already had…

And make some neighborly room, North Carolinians, because if there is one thing your next door neighbors love… it’s remote beaches.

Who knew this popular Carolina beach had something none of the others do: an invisible state line that divides the sand?!
