Surf's up at Wrightsville Beach
Wrightsville Beach Museum of History
Discover the storied history of Wrightsville Beach which has been hit by multiple hurricanes during its time as a resort town. Carolina Yacht Club is the second oldest East Coast yacht club. Exciting events like open-air concerts and surf competitions are also organised by the museum.
Wrightsville Beach
Generally considered the birthplace of surfing in the state, Wrightsville is now one of the world's top surfing towns. There's something happening every day of the week, whether you're a wave rider or a canoeist, a bird-watcher, or a people watcher.
Johnnie Mercer's Pier
Stretching 1200 feet into the Atlantic, this pier is top of the to-do list. It's the best place from which to watch the changing moods of the sea as the sun sinks below the horizon line.
Wrightsville Beach Scenic Tours
Take a tour: there are so many to choose from, including children's tours, eco tours, and party tours that let you drink and dance as the sun goes down on your very own party boat. That's to say nothing of the special seasonal tours like Easter egg hunts. Can't find the tour you want? Create your own custom version.
Airlie Gardens
These 100 year old gardens will leave you dumbfounded with their splendid sculptures, freshwater lakes, and views of Bradley Creek. The gardens host regular events that see them filled with music and lights. The Southeast Tourism Society named Enchanted Airlie's events among their Top 20 in the state.
