Experience the Easy Island Life
Wrightsville Beach, NC

Cross the bridge to Wrightsville Beach this winter and you could be fishing, paddle boarding or shelling in crystal-clear waters.  Or just enjoy long walks on the beach. 

Test your skills or cheer on athletes at the Quintiles Wrightsville Beach Marathon, named among the top winter marathons by Runner’s World magazine. Always wanted to try stand up paddle boarding? Stop by the 4th  Annual Cold Stroke Classic, featuring an SUP Race Clinic, Manufacturer's Expo with demonstrations, live entertainment and a banquet about the sport, and then sign up to compete in the Wrightsville Beach Biathlon, the first biathlon held anywhere that replaced swimming with the growing sport of SUP. 

In February, enjoy the sights and sounds of beach music while enjoying beautiful views of the ocean and harbor at the East Coast Shag Classic. Foodies and music-lovers alike won’t want to miss the N.C. Jazz Festival or the Wilmington Wine & Chocolate Festival in nearby Wilmington.

Wrightsville Beach offers some of the best lodging in the area, from spacious, sound front vacation rentals to full-service hotels with ocean views. Many Wrightsville Beach area accommodations and restaurants offer special rates and menus from New Year’s through Valentine’s Day. Come for a visit and you'll quickly see how easy it is to get to North Carolina's most accessible beach!
