4.5/5(729 reviews)

This picturesque barrier island offers consistent waves for surfers, a vibrant nightlife and a wide range of outdoor activities.

Wrightsville Beach
This pier makes for great sunrise photos. $2 to walk out onto it but totally worth it. Lots of avid fishermen to entertain you AND they sell beer and other beverages to carry out there with you. The Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach is a great area to visit with numerous excellent breweries and many great restaurants.

Advertised as a premium room. Only one burner worked on the stove top, very small refrigerator, sparsely equipped to cook. Had to request a frying pan, no toaster etc. we have stayed here every year for twenty years and this was the worst we have had.

The air conditioning was not functioning properly. The room was very warm during our 1 night stay, and it was hard to fall asleep due to the conditions.
