Road Trip 2017: Beaches of Wilmington, NC

During our stay in Wilmington, NC, we visited Kure and Wrightsville beaches. Both were beautiful, but they had their differences. Kure Beach, to the south of Carolina Beach, was less developed and had a small beach town feel. The sand was coarser there than at Wrightsville beach, which sported white, powdery sand that felt great on our tired feet. Wrightsville Beach area, to the east of Wilmington, was more developed and commercialized, with high rise hotels and loads of restaurants. The water at both beaches was warm, and neither were crowded. Our time here got us pumped to experience the beaches in Florida!
