Sunset Point Overlook Details

Although the name implies a good location to enjoy the sunset, the view actually looks east to Cousins Island so it is better for sunrises. There is no parking at the overlook so you want to park in the tiny lot located at the start of the Sunset Point Lane, and then walk the quarter-mile to the overlook. Facilities: Trailered Boat Launch, Hand-carry Boat Launch
