Beach of the Week: Wrightsville Beach

Wrightsville Beach, NC
 There is never a problem in the world that a walk on this beach can’t cure. Sunsets at the south end. Cocktails and appetizers at the Oceanic Pier.  Fishing at Johnny Mercer’s Pier. And lovely long walks down through the north end. It may be full of college students, but we provide for excellent entertainment, Hammocks and slack lining set up under the piers. Surfers galore out in the water, And even a new era of hula hooping amongst the hippies. The college scene is definitely huge but the locals keep it surreal. Its never loud or over run by college drunks with the exception of the beach bar scene.  At about eleven you can find a crowds drinking, listening to live music, dancing to dj’s and the whole works. With a strip of beach bars open until two am and then pizza open across the street, Wrightsville is a recipe for an incredible time for the twenties.

P A N G E A


Pangea is this past world idea of having a world without boundaries and borders. There were no passports or control. We were all one world. It seems like a foreign concept, but there was no concept of foreign affairs during the time of Pangea. When was the last time there were no limitations to travel? Travel, to me, is knowledge. I have become aware of so many different cultures and lifestyles throughout my travels and it is truly eye opening. The LEAVE A NOTE mailbox, at the north end of Wrightsville Beach, is a sort of melting pot. Inside there are notes from locals, students, and vacationers writing about their lives, troubles, pursuits, and happiness. Many are anonymous and many are signed. With notepads ands pencils handy, there are no restrictions to the words inside the mailbox.
