Across from Wrightsville Beach, overlooking the mooring grounds where the Intracoastal meets the Atlantic Ocean you’ll find a quaint, upscale boating community on Harbor Island. There are private docks abound, various marinas and public boat access as well. The streets are sidewalk-lined and residents delight in watching the sun rise over Wrightsville Beach and the ICWW.
On Harbor Island, all restaurants and retail outlets are just a quick walk or bike ride away and include the infamous BlueWater Restaurant, Causeway Café, Banks Channel Bar & Grill and Lighthouse Beer and Wine Shop where you can enjoy a fantastic microbrew in the Beer Garden after walking the “Loop” and much more. There’s Redix, one of the absolute best places to pick up beach gear and summer toys. Each Monday, Wrightsville Beach hosts the local farmers market on Causeway Drive and provides great opportunity to stock up on local produce and goods. The Wrightsville Beach Park on Harbor Island hosts a free outdoor movie on Friday nights during the summer too. It’s a great way to spend time with the family.
If you have the opportunity to watch the Holiday Flotilla from a private residence or dock there, it is the absolute best place to enjoy this festival that takes place after each Thanksgiving to kick-off the Christmas Season. It’s a not-to-be-missed beautiful artistic display of lights and floating holiday decorations.
