our favorite place to go when its beach time, is Wrightsville  Beach NC  as it is quiet . 
what makes this beach so special is when the tide goes out.....it goes way out and leaves beautiful patterns in the sand along with interesting sandbar formations.

Pleasant family beach. Houses very close together, but space is limited. Easy access to City of Wilmington.

WB is a great little beach town but pretty busy during the summer.

Wrightsville is very pretty but lacks restaurants on the actual beach area. Carolina Beach has a much better beachfront area

Tower 7 restaurant is right down the street and is delicious. We got up early to watch the sun rise through the glass door to the balcony. What better way to celebrate God’s creation than Watching from a soft sofa in the living room?
