Review:
Wrightsville Beach is made up of two islands easily accessible from North Carolina’s mainland. The islands offer everything you need for a relaxing vacation, including plenty of accommodation options ranging from full service resorts to more budget-friendly hotels.
Activities on the water include kayaking, paddleboarding, surfing, and fishing. Several boat companies offer evening harbor cruises.
Beyond the beaches, visitors can bike the Wrightsville Beach Loop Trail or explore the town on foot. Shopping options include surf shops, open-air villages, and boutiques.
Wrightsville Beach is home to the annual PPD Ironman NC, which is one of the top-rated triathlons in the world.
