Question: Where on North Carolina’s coast can you see the sunrise and sunset on Valentine’s Day?

Answer: In North Carolina’s Brunswick Islands, you can see both the sunrise and sunset over the ocean on the same day at beaches like Oak Island, Caswell Beach, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, and Holden Beach. This rare phenomenon occurs from late fall through early spring due to the south-facing, east-west oriented shoreline and the sun’s southern position.
