Why Choose Wrightsville Beach for Your Winter Retreat

Wrightsville Beach offers year round charm, keeping a reputation as a beach town that doesn’t “close up” at the end of surf season. This idyllic seaside spot is bustling with activity all year long, and shows a particular dedication to Christmas and the holidays with festivals, markets, and events throughout the winter. Among the most popular events are the Holiday Flea at the Brooklyn Arts Center, Enchanted Airlie, and the North Carolina Holiday Flotilla

Enchanted Airlie sells out almost immediately – but with Blockade Runner Beach Resort’s Enchanted Airlie Package, you can guarantee your tickets along with perfect beachfront accommodations. 

Thanks to the coastal location, Wrightsville Beach enjoys mild winters with few (if any) snow days. If any flakes fall, locals flock to the beach to see their sandy beaches peppered with white. The mild weather means you can enjoy walks along the beach, and activities at Blockade Runner Beach Resort, and all winter activities Wrightsville Beach has to offer without getting too chilly.
