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!

      Panthers Vs Bucs OFFICIAL THREAD

      By Achilles · Posted

      Seems to me that the Bucs have less fight in them now than they had in week 16. The real test is going to be if the Panthers can sustain focus and discipline throughout. With the Bucs being at home, maybe that gives them a little boost of confidence and energy.  Wouldn’t it be something if for ONCE the Panthers came out and dominated from the opening snap and just took this shook Bucs team to task?  If the Panthers see-saw form follows, we are in line for the W. Hard to say we have momentum but we do have a pretty clear pattern of following a loss with a win.  I’m going to say 24-16 Panthers!!

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
