Wrightsville Beach is one of the prettiest, cleanest beaches on the coast.  There are days when the water looks turquoise, the sand white and the breeze perfect.  Those who live here and in Wilmington, know that it is the best kept secret.  Well, National Geographic has just let the secret out of the bag.   Wrightsville Beach NC made the Top 20 Best Surf Towns in the Nation.  Laid back beautiful beach, quaint  homes and just a couple shops.  The John Nesbitt loop around the island is a perfect walk/run spot. ” Mike Barden, a native and owner of the seminal East Coast surf shop Surf City Surf Shop, which has been in business since 1978. “We have a pretty laid-back, understanding attitude.”

The best part of the island and Wilmington is the people and their attitudes.  After swimming in the channel this morning with the full moon still on the horizon and running on the beach you pass many tourists looking for shells.  It is mandatory to say “good morning or hey” .  There is surprise on most of their faces that a “stranger” would have a smile or a “hey” for them.

There are so many options for fun at Wrightsville Beach.  Surfing, swimming, fishing, boating, sailing, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, kite boarding and just plain walking on the beach and collecting shells. We love our town.  You are welcome to enjoy it, please leave it the way you found it and don’t forget to say “hey”.
