Sunset Beach

Sunset Beach is an American television soap opera that aired on NBC from January 6, 1997 to December 31, 1999. The show follows the loves and lives of the people living in the Orange County coastal area named Sunset Beach, on the coast of California. Although there is a town in California called Sunset Beach, the show's beach scenes were shot on nearby Seal Beach. The show was co-produced by NBC and Spelling Television. Sunset Beach won two Daytime Emmy Awards and was nominated another eleven times. The show also received twenty-two nominations for various other awards.

Directed by Josh Griffith, Robert Guza Jr., Charles Pratt, Jr., Sunset Beach leans on a strong ensemble — Eddie Cibrian, Kathleen Noone, Nick Kiriazis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about soap titles of 1997.
