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!

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
