- ᴡ BowmanOctober 9, 2012Beautiful beach! Get to the beach early to claim a spot because it fills up fast. You cannot bring alcohol on the beach, maybe they will change it one day. Pick up your trash when you leave!Upvote16Downvote
Chris CurryNovember 25, 2012The reason why you came to southern North Carolina...now go enjoy it but clean up after yourself and don't be an idiot! Best times: anytime on the water, sunrises, sunsets, with friends and family! Read moreUpvote11DownvoteUpvoted Feb 15
DarronJuly 20, 2012Love living here...however the tourist become very annoying. Also smoking on beach is allowed but if seen throwing down butts it's a $125 fine or either you have to fill up a cup of butts.Upvote8Downvote
Jenya SAugust 11, 2017Not too crowded, clean beach. Good public facilities (changing rooms, showers, etc). Lovely even when overcast, great surf too. Water was super warm (beginning of August).

mjJune 29, 2015The water is clean and so is the sand, but paying for parking, which is $2.50 an hour, makes me choose a different beach whenever possible.Upvote3Downvote
James DeanApril 8, 2015Make sure you have change for parking. Off the beaten path for most tourists so if your looking for more of small city type place to vacation Wrightsville Beach is the place for you.

Jeff HMay 26, 2013Can pay meter with credit card. Be careful to pay the meter applicable to your spot...the spots are really really big on the beach street and its easy to feed wrong meter!Upvote1Downvote
Teresa MartinezApril 1, 2017Love the beach very clean. Had to pay for parking and then if you want to go on the Pier you have to pay per person. Not something i want to do.Upvote1Downvote
Robert KimJuly 21, 2011It's a very kid-friendly beach. There's miles of it that are safe, and you can walk out into the water for a hundred yards before the water gets over your head.Upvote2Downvote
Jasmine O'ConnerAugust 25, 2015God, please take me back to this beautiful place. White sand, feel good water/waves, sunshine and nothing but positive vibes.

Charles TabangcoraJune 20, 2011A great beach for everyone. Great Restaurants near by. One of the better beaches on the East coast.Upvote1Downvote- AJCMay 13, 2015Watersports and an active social scene set the tone at Wrightsville Beach.UpvoteDownvote
NatalynSeptember 8, 2010Nope no alcohol on the beach. Been like that for years. Great place to live, love wb, but love it best in the winter when tourists are gone.Upvote8Downvote
Often crowded, but there's no better beach in NC.Upvote1Downvote
If you come late summer you might spot baby sea turtles on their way to the ocean!!Upvote1Downvote
If you want to drink, be discreet and look out for the white van. They write a ton of tickets for open containers, which apparently aren't allowed on the beach.UpvoteDownvote
Dia JonesMarch 25, 2015Was not impressed with the locals remarks about the tourists. We spent a lot of money here. Maybe Pensacola FL is a better pick, they are nice & appreciativeUpvoteDownvote
Bring as much change as possible for parking in the summerUpvoteDownvote

Might as well pee in the water.UpvoteDownvote
Don't forget change. Parking is expensive and the "Pay by Phone" option is a pain in the butt.UpvoteDownvote
