A favorite activity that residents and visitors have looked forward to for decades are the Easter Sunday Sunrise Services held at Wrightsville Beach. Customarily, several houses of worship pool their resources and join on Easter Sunday at 6:30 am for a traditional service. It is usually held at Beach Access #19, which is at the end of Oxford Street. As Easter draws closer, please check with the local newspapers and church websites for more information. Also be aware that this year, Easter Sunday falls on March 31st.
Make It A Beach Day
If the weather permits, of course enjoying a day at beautiful Wrightsville Beach is an idyllic way to spend Easter. Make sure to pack a picnic, plenty of sunscreen, those beach toys, and please be aware that as of March 1st, paid parking went into effect. Just think-where else could you have this much fun for only $2 an hour?
Easter Brunch on Wrightsville Beach
Hotels and restaurants on the island typically put out an amazing spread for brunch and lunch on Easter Sunday. These special Easter menus only come around once a year. So to ensure you have a place at your favorite table for typical Easter fare such as ham, deviled eggs, fresh roasted asparagus, potato salad, yeast rolls, and lemon pie, get those reservations made as soon as possible!
Special appearances by the Easter Bunny
