Wrightsville Beach is a scenic town in North Carolina, famed for its picturesque setting and immaculate beaches.

As a vibrant beach town, there are plenty of water-based opportunities to enjoy here, including kayaking, surfing, and fishing. History buffs will appreciate exploring Wrightsville Beach Museum of History, which showcases the town’s storied past. Planning to come over with your pets? The beach accepts well-behaved dogs from October 1 to March 31, as long as they are kept on a leash. Dog-friendly water fountains are peppered around the town to help keep your furry friends hydrated all the time.
