Legend Of Sunset Beach
In the 1920's, handsome Euoropean aristocrat Armando Deschanel found the woman he thought was the love of his
life. He had waited so long for her that he willingly engaged in a duel to the death to gain her hand. Victory came
with a price. He was forced to flee the country--but not before discovering that the true love he had fought for was
not true. Brokenhearted, Deschanel came to America, to the coast of Southern California, determined to start a new
life, and as he stood on the shore of the vast Pacific, he wondered if he would ever find true love. Then, as if by
magic, a beautiful woman dressed all in black appeared at the water's edge and walked toward him until she stood at
his side. Basking in the beauty of the setting sun, they fell in love. Armando knew it was the magic of that special
stretch of beach at sunset that had brought them together. He knew it was not he who found love, but love that found
him. The couple married, and Armando built a beachfront castle as a monument to their eternal love. The Deschanels
became the toast of Los Angeles, and their seaside home was host to a steady stream of city socialites and
Hollywood royalty. Eventually, a small beachfront community arose, inspired by the Deschanel castle--and by the
legend that promises everlasting love to those who meet on the town's sandy shores at sunset. The castle no longer
stands, but the legend lives on in the town known as Sunset Beach.
