Where to Stay
Trailborn Surf & Sound
Trailborn Surf & Sound sits on three acres of prime beachfront, offering water views from every room and direct access to both the Atlantic Ocean and the sound—one of the East Coast’s rare dual-waterfront resorts. Thoughtfully reimagined with laid-back design and welcoming spaces, the hotel captures the easy charm that’s made Wrightsville Beach one of America’s favorite surf towns. Take a surf lesson, cruise the islands on a boat tour, organize a sunset picnic, or let the kids enjoy in-room camping—all available through the resort. Or, keep things easy with a dip in the pool, a nap in your private cabana, or beachside bites and cocktails from Blockade Surf Bar. End the day with a meal at La Duna Paradiso and Bar Duna, where fresh-catch Italian and Mediterranean flavors meet the coast.
