The Sand Dunes

The Sand Dunes

8/10 Good
"Hotel was great, and right on the beach. Loved that it allowed dogs! Only negative was that I couldn’t sit on the balcony to enjoy the ocean view because the room next door was chain smoking and it allowed dogs blew over. Not a fault of the hotel, but definitely made it not as great. Tried enjoying coffee on the balcony…nope"

When is the best time to go to Wrightsville Sound?

You'll find it easier to book accommodations and activities, and the conditions are great for outdoor pursuits like kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the waterfront views.

For those looking to enjoy the full range of water sports and beach activities, the summer months (July and August) offer the warmest temperatures for swimming and boating. However, this is also the busiest time, so expect more people and higher prices for accommodation. If you plan to visit during summer, it's advisable to book well in advance.
