Things to do
Get your beach, history, and sweet tea fixes here
Don’t let Wrightsville Beach fool you. Y'all ready know it has a spectacular 4-mile stretch of beach with plenty of parking, but this Tarheel destination is also a history lover’s dream come true. Visit the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History, and then head out yonder to several attractions listed on National Register of Historic Places, including the circa-1855 Bradley-Latimer Summer House, the Cape Fear Civil War Shipwreck Discontiguous District, and the quaint James D. and Frances Sprunt Cottage built in 1937. Plus, there are several local parks where you can enjoy more of those filet biscuits and sweet tea while picnicking.
Activities
Y’all get ready to surf, fish and eat bo rounds ‘til no end
This oceanfront paradise has more than enough activities to keep even die-hard water enthusiasts busy. Besides sailboating along the Intracoastal Waterway or fishing off Johnnie Mercer's Pier, you can try kitesurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and windsurfing, or take a scuba-diving adventure to any one of the 200 offshore wrecks. Pick out a joint where you can indulge on a Cajun filet biscuit with bo rounds and a classic Tarheel sweet tea. Plus there’s the annual NC Oyster Festival, Festival by the Sea featuring arts & crafts, and RiverFest, which comes complete with fireworks.
Weather
Local forecast: sunny skies 216 days per year
Wrightsville Beach can get downright hot during summer, with average temperatures hitting the high 80s. This sweltering heat attracts the most visitors, but it's also good to know summer coincides with the Atlantic hurricane season, which peaks from mid-August until October, so things may get a little blustery. You'll find the lowest prices when booking Wrightsville Beach vacation rentals during the spring and fall, when temperatures are more pleasant. During winter, lows will dip down to 34°F, but there's only an inch of snow annually, so sorry folks, no snowmen.
