Wrightsville Beach

Built around a rail link from Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach grew into a barrier-island resort town between the Atlantic Ocean and Banks Channel. The railway brought holidaymakers to the coast in the early 20th century, helping establish the town’s long-standing connection with beach tourism. Today, its wide ocean shore, tidal waters and dune-lined edge support surfing, sailing and fishing. Johnnie Mercer’s Pier remains a familiar local landmark, extending over the Atlantic for anglers and walkers.
