About this map

Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle Beach occupy a thin sliver of coastal land along the northern edge of this maritime sheet, where the barrier islands meet the Atlantic Ocean. The topography is dominated by the narrow channel of Tubbs Inlet, which separates the two developed beach communities and connects Long Bay to the open sea. Inland navigation is marked by local roads like N Shore Dr and Main St E, providing a clear record of the shoreline development before later decades of storm activity and shifting sands. South of Bald Beach, the map transition into the open waters of the Atlantic, documenting the precise bathymetric and coastal boundary lines used by the Geological Survey during this late 2010s update.
