Wrightsville Beach is known for its pleasant weather, friendly community, great surfing, and beautiful beaches. While the island is a popular tourist destination during the peak season (typically mid April through August), the off season can provide visitors with a nice vacation at a laid-back pace. Visiting the area during the winter can mean less hassle and fewer headaches that are sometimes associated with being in a tourist town.
While the weather may be cooler in the off season, temperatures usually don’t go any lower than the mid 50’s during afternoons in December and January. The area typically gets less than 4 inches of precipitation in the first two months of the year as well, which can be a great escape from the harsh winters of the North!
Fewer crowds can mean not having to wait in line at the gift shops or worrying about reservations at the local restaurants. Less traffic on the island can allow for easy navigation of the area and getting from point A to point B without hassle. When it comes to accommodations, many Wrightsville Beach resorts and hotels offer special discounted rates during the slower months. For a family on a tight budget, this can be a great way to have a fun-filled vacation without breaking the bank.
As for things to do while on your vacation, this beach town has a lot to offer – no matter what time of year it is! Activities like sunbathing and swimming may not be great ideas, but there’s still plenty to do here in the winter! Nearby shopping at Lumina Station, special winter events like the Holiday Flotilla or Enchanted Airlie and close proximity to historic Wilmington are just a few great reasons to consider a winter vacation in Wrighstville Beach.
