With Super Bowl Sunday behind us, don’t let this coming Sunday get away from you. If you’re scratching your head, please note that this Sunday is Valentine’s Day. Considering the naturally romantic backdrop of Wrightsville Beach, it will be easy to show your Valentine how much you care. Of course, nothing gets that message across quite like a new beach house!
If a coastal property just isn’t in the cards right now, here are a few suggestions for the Valentine’s Day holiday…
Weekend Escape – Check with the beach hotels and resorts to discover the different packages they are offering. From the north end to the south end, there are plenty of choices! Here are a few links to get you started: http://www.ihg.com/holidayinnresorts/hotels/us/en/wrightsville-beach/wrgnc/hoteldetail , http://blockade-runner.com/specials-packages/packages/
Wrightsville Beach Scenic Cruises – No boat? No worries! Just leave the cruising to the seafaring folks at WB Scenic Cruises. They have several excursions to choose from, including sunset cruises all Valentine’s weekend and trips to Masonboro Island. If your Valentine is an angler, a fishing charter may be the perfect way to say, “I love you.” For schedules and prices, visit their link here: http://www.wrightsvillebeachscenictours.com/
Don’t Make Dinner – Make Reservations – The area has so many wonderful dining establishments to choose from, that a better idea may be breakfast, lunch and dinner! Although there are plenty of excellent choices on the island, it may also be fun to cruise into town and discover a new spot. The Port City is quickly becoming a hotspot for foodies, so regardless of your sweetie’s taste, there should certainly be a restaurant that fits the bill. Please use these link for ideas, they include a number of Wrightsville Beach options: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g49673-Wilmington_North_Carolina.html – http://www.wilmingtonnc.com/dining/
DIY Valentines Day – If you agree that the best things in life are free, this one’s for you! Weather and conditions permitting, make some plans and surprise your Valentine with an action-packed afternoon. Perhaps a walk around the loop, stroll along the beach, SUP cruise or refreshing February surf session will be good choices? Of course you’ll want to include a homemade card and home-cooked dinner! And remember, the more you save now, the faster you’ll be able to save up for that Wrightsville Beach oceanfront condo.
