SUNSET BEACH BRIDGE
For years, a
quaint, one-way, wooden bridge was the only way to arrive on Sunset
Beach. Although the bridge was much beloved by locals, it sometimes
caused headaches for travelers heading to or away from the island.
The pontoon bridge is now a thing of the past as a new bridge has
been built. The $31 million high-rise bridge is now open for
traveling, making it even easier to reach your gorgeous vacation
destination!
