our favorite place to go when its beach time, is Wrightsville Beach NC as it is quiet . what makes this beach so special is when the tide goes out.....it goes way out and leaves beautiful patterns in the sand along with interesting sandbar formations.

This pier makes for great sunrise photos. $2 to walk out onto it but totally worth it. Lots of avid fishermen to entertain you AND they sell beer and other beverages to carry out there with you.
