About This Beach
Wrightsville Beach offers a blend of natural beauty and convenient amenities. The clean, wide beach is popular for surfing, shelling, and relaxing, but parking can be a challenge, especially during peak season. While the beach has restrooms and occasional lifeguards, showers are limited, and dogs are only allowed during certain months. This makes it suitable for families during the off-season and for surfers year round.
