There’s a reason Travel + Leisure named Wrightsville Beach one of the “Best Beaches in the U.S.” and with even more new experiences headed to the island, it’s easy to see why. Explore the island’s diverse ecosystems in a new way with the Wrightsville Beach Waterloop Tour, a new kayak tour offered by Wilmington Outdoor Adventures. Or join Coastal Eco Adventures on a private charter to area barrier islands. Coming this summer, the floating Commodore Club will bring a next-level amenity to the Intracoastal Waterway featuring craft cocktails on the outdoor terrace among one of its offerings.
