Wrightsville Beach, The Place Dreams Are Made
There is a small island off the coast of southern North Carolina called Wrightsville Beach. It is one of the most beautiful locations on the entire east coast. The people there are happy for some reason and the houses are built on these stilts and look very southern. There have been many hurricanes that have arrived at this beach over the years, but they never really seem to affect it. The people just bounce right back and pull together and make things all better again.
The beach is breathtaking there. The water is clean, and if the gulf stream is in the correct position you will swear that you are in the movie the Blue Lagoon. The sand is soft and the ocean air makes you fell so good inside. When you go in the summer, the beach bodies are out and about showing off their tans. Sometimes when you are at the beach you think you are on a hollywood set.
Just behind the island is what is called the “inter coastal waterway”. This is a place for boats to travel all up and down the east coast without having to go into the rough seas of the ocean. You can go all the way from Canada to South Florida and make fun stops all along the way. Located just a few minutes west is Wilmington. This is a town that emulates the south. There are many jobs there and the city is quite busy. If you get a chance to visit, go for it. You might end up staying for an extended period of time if you know what I mean.
