We are getting married right off of Wrightsville Beach, so we recommend staying close to or at this beach. Please note that this beach has a "zero alcohol policy," so please be careful with open alcohol containers.
There a handful of great bars and restaurants overlooking the Cape Fear river including Dock Street Oyster Bar, Circa 1922, Pilot House, Elijah's, Front Street Brewery, and Anne Bonny's Bar and Grill.
There is an inner loop on Wrightsville Beach that is 2.5 miles long, and has breath-taking views of Banks Channel. If you like to sweat for fun, we'd recommend sweating at The Loop.
Rent Jet Skis for an hour to explore the Intercoastal Waterway!
This boat allows you to peddle along the Cape Fear river for 1.5 hours! But don't worry, it also has a motor! It seats up to 15 guests and you can bring your own food and beverages on the boat. Rates start at $35 per person.
