Another notable thing is that Sunrise Beach is a major vacation destination. Much of the village’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Sunrise Beach’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Residents will find that the village is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Sunrise Beach is worth considering.
As is often the case in a small village, Sunrise Beach doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
