Wrightsville Beach is a treasured oceanside community and favorite family destination for generations. It delights new and returning visitors with a 5-mile-long beach of clean white sand. Beachcombing and pier or surf fishing are staples, as are more active adventures like swimming and parasailing. Boats and boards are a big part of life in Wrightsville Beach. The Intracoastal Waterway traces the shore here, a protected ?highway? for crafts from sailboats to power yachts and the venue for waterside dining. As for boards, the Atlantic churns up great surf conditions here. You can try getting on a board yourself, or watch the experts during summertime surf championships. Land sports your thing? The town offers a large park with lighted tennis courts, volleyball and basketball courts, football and soccer fields and a fitness trail. Or try some retail recreation at Wrightsville Beach?s unique shopping villages. Loggerhead sea turtles have been coming to the Cape Fear Coast for generations, and if you?re lucky, you?ll see them. Turtle watching is just one of a variety of ecotourism options in the Wrightsville Beach area. A natural barrier island, Masonboro Island, is the site for canoe or kayak tours. Birding is another popular pastime, with a multitude of native shore and marsh birds. And don?t be surprised to see an occasional dolphin playing in the surf.
