Anchorage Review for Wrightsville Beach

Reviewed by: Jennifer Fury, Suenos De Pipa, on Dec 21, 2024
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 30'
Draft: 4.0'

We've been here several nights, first night we anchored further from the bridge and easily took dinghy to an island, good for pet breaks. The next day we anchored close to the bridge and have been using the free dinghy dock to do shopping. Dinghy dock is close enough even without an outboard. There are plenty of great dining, bars, shops etc within walking of the dinghy dock.
We have had many small power boats during daylight hours make wakes but the holding is great and other than one time a set of young immature kids doing broadies near our anchor line and when my husband confronted them they made smart a remarks. Haven't seen them since.
The locals here have been tremendous friendly, we hitched a ride with a local fellow who sails and another in the area helped us retrieve Amazon packages prior to our arrival, whom we met on a sailing Facebook group.
All in all this is a great anchorage albeit this is the 'quiet' part of year and still lots of neighbors anchored nearby.
Holding for 4 days same spot winds reached 15.
