Sunset Beach is an island off the coast of North Carolina. They have an excellent pier and next to their pier is this cross set in top of a sand dune. This image was taken at sunrise and it reminds of Easter and also the beauty of God's creation of this beautiful place I had the privilege of viewing that morning.
The Sunset Beach Pier was originally built in June of 1960. It was rebuilt at its current location in 1976 over a sunken Blockade Runner named the Vesta. In 1864 the Vesta was set on fire in 10 feet of water. Many of the supplies were unloaded and the boat was abandoned on what was later to become sunset beach island. The vesta was 34' wide and 180' long and sat parallel to the beach (east and west). When the first pier was built they left a wide opening and you could look thru the planks and see the boiler. Today, because so much sand has accreted, it is totally submerged.
