Situated in the middle of the Island, the Summer Sands offers you easy access to both the beach and the harbor, and the convenience of nearby specialty shops and restaurants.

Once dotted with summer cottages, and connected to Wilmington by trolley, this four-mile strand has developed into a community of private homes, condominium, businesses, and moderate resorts.

Although offered many choices of recreation and services, beach visitors have only a five minute drive to the riverfront city of Wilmington and its cultural and historical attractions. For families seeking a relaxing and safe vacation, Wrightsville has become the Beach of choice.
