Whether it’s walking The Loop, grabbing a bite on the water, stopping to shop in Lumina Station, or celebrating the famous Flotilla, Wrightsville Beach has something to offer everyone year-round. Visit the beach with ease knowing you have a full Ocean rescue squad or launch your boat at the community boat launch and refuel at one of the many full-service marinas on the Intracoastal.
