Mary Gardner, Sunset Beach’s “unofficial Postmistress” recently walked out of the quaint post office (shown in painting) for the last time. But she hasn’t left the hearts of the tight-knit, 118-year-old community where there’s no door-to-door mail delivery. Nor has she left the minds of the town’s dogs, who loved her.<\/p>\n

Sunset Beach, once home to actress Sandra Bullock, and neighboring Surfside where Cameron Diaz, known for her role in “There’s Something About Mary,” reportedly owns property, are treated like ordinary folks.<\/p>\n
