Wrightsville Beach

Once accessible only by water, Wrightsville Beach has become a popular weekend escape for sun seekers, beachcombers and nature lovers. Its five miles of white sand beaches, full-service marinas, fishing pier, museum of history and city park provide visitors with countless activities in a relaxed, casual setting. Each year, the island celebrates its nautical and cultural heritage with the Lumina Daze Festival and North Carolina Holiday Flotilla.
