Search hotels in Wrightsville Beach

Wrightsville Beach is beautiful with many restaurants to choose from. Very walkable and a beautiful beach. It is a very quiet island not someplace I would expect a Spring Break Crowd - ever - definitely family friendly and couple friendly.

If you’ve never been to NC/Wilmington, or are debating on which beach to visit, you can stop now; Wrightsville is the superior choice and it’s not even close. Topsail will give you the Jacksonville/Marine base crowd, not that there’s anything wrong with that but it’ll be congested at times, Carolina is just a little old looking, Wrightsville is the go-to choice.

Our stay was through a third party ,at a hotel so the room was privatly owned , check that before booking , there was no coffie or cups for the coffie maker , it was dirty, and the agent never gave us the bands needed for the pool access.

I love Wrightsville Beach, but the pictures for Shell Island Resort weren't accurate. I've always stayed at Holiday Resort and suites much bigger with connecting balconies from the bedroom and living room. Prices for food much cheaper. The beeds and pillows were very comfortable

We love Wrightsville Beach and have been coming since the late 80s to meet up with other family members from Connecticut, Indiana, Virginia, NC and Georgia. Now that the kids are grown with kids of their own, we're trying to continue the tradition. Love the Oceanic, King Neptune's (hope it reopens for next summer), the Trolley Stop and the ice cream stand especially the Graham Central Station flavor.

The beach wasn’t crowded at all and we were able to set up and go straight to the water. There is a path that has to be accessible leading to the water but it wasn’t a big deal and didn’t affect our experience. Lifeguards are on duty and blew their whistles to let people know to stay away from the pier. There are bathrooms, showers, and changing rooms right before you get to the beach but it isn’t very clean so be prepared. Parking is $5 (5.50 tax) a hour or $25 for the day and they will check to see if you paid either by phone or using the kiosk since you have to enter your plate number. It was a great experience and 10/10 will go again but with shade, chairs, and my own snacks as the stores were ridiculously high.
