My family is trying to arrange a vacation in Wrightsville for the week after Labor Day. My cousin did a bunch or research and found some houses we can rent for the week. My thought is, "Why aren't we looking at the Outer Banks?" I found some houses there that are on the beach for less $. But I thought I'd ask the question to you North Carolinians. If you were spending a week in a Beach House, which beach would you rather go to?

 

Thanks.

You should also look into Topsail Island/Surf City N.C.  Much quieter for a family vacation.  I agree though, don't go to Wrightsville if you want it to be a family vacation....

We do 2 weeks in the Avon area every year. I like it because you can drive on the beach and even during peak season you can find your own secluded area (pic below although this is from last month). Good fishing at kiteboarding too.

I haven't been to wrightsville since I was a kid but I remember the inland waterway being great for boating and skiing.

The pain of wrightsville is the traffic. Car, bike, skateboard and foot. It will take you a while to get anywhere at most any time of day. The beauty though is the booty.

I'm actually about to go on a family vacation with the in laws to Kure beach. The mom rented a 4 bed 4 bath 3000 sq ft house that sleeps 10 for a week and it was less than 2000. It's about 1000' from the sand, in a community with a pool and has chairs and toys for renters.

You should definitely look around at less populated beaches IMO.

Well I live here so I'm probably biased... I guess it depends on what you want to do.

If you want to go to the beach and only do beach... Outer Banks.

If you want to go to the beach and also maybe go to the movies, go out to bars, etc., come to Wrightsville.

If you come to Wrightsville and don't get up with me, I kill you.

Best on the NC coast IMO.

 

Nice quiet atmosphere and close enough to Southport & Wilmington that when you want to go do something besides chill on the beach you can.  Also the SC boarder is < an hour away for a fireworks run.

Don't go to Wrightsville Beach!!! They're working on the drawbridge all summer, it's only one lane in and one lane out. It literally takes an hour to go 1/2 mile sometimes. OB or Topsail is the ticket.

Pie and rep to you, Sir for the great intel!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
