Dock wisdom

·

Wrightsville Beach Scenic Tours' sunset cruise leaves the Blockade Runner dock around 6:30 PM, book ahead in season.

·

Morning trips get the calmest sound; the afternoon sea breeze builds chop on the water.

·

The Masonboro shuttle drops you on a wild, undeveloped island, so bring water, shade and everything you need.

·

Most boats run from the sound side; parking is easiest at the free Wrightsville Beach Park on the Causeway.
