Review:

Masonboro Island near Wilmington, North Carolina is accessible only by boat. There are both private and public boat ramps in and around Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach, as well as at the New Hanover County Trails End Park.

  • Boats typically land at the south and north sound of Masonboro Island.
  • Trails provide access across the island to the beach.
  • Primitive camping is permitted on the island with a recommendation to for campers to use an area that has been obviously camped in previously.
  • Visitors can use land between dunes, open tidal flats, and beach areas as long as the habitat isn’t altered.
