That ship sailed a long time ago unfortunately haha. I did keep all of my Mase surf footage out of this video and filmed on flat days to hopefully not add to the already crowded lineups.

@@WilmingtonNCLiving I’m from Ft.Pierce Florida,same thing here! We use to be a quaint lil drinking town,with a surfing 🏄‍♂️ n fishing problem! Unfortunately we have a lot of Miami and Ft.Lauderdale folks moving north for better living! When the swell is good we get overwhelmed with the ultra polite Brazilians from Miami! I feel ya dude! We are Ft between Palm beach and Sebastian inlet! 😎🤙

We are bringing a small John boat for a weekend of camping . Where is the best place to launch and park the truck /trailer please? Thank you

[@WilmingtonNCLiving]

I would recommend either the Trails End Park boat ramp or Wrightsville Beach boat ramp depending on what part of the island you plan on accessing. If the boat is really small it may be best to use trails end to avoid all of the Wrightsville Beach boat traffic. I used to have a 12ft jon boat and it would get a little dicey in that area sometimes. Hope that helps!

I really want to get there by kayak if you have tips

[@WilmingtonNCLiving]

Launching from Trails End boat ramp would probably be your best bet. I would try to time it on a rising tide because some of the creeks that lead in to the back side of the island get pretty shallow as the tide gets low. You could also launch from the far south end of Wrightsville Beach but boat traffic and currents in that channel can get pretty intense. If you decide to go that way I'd definitely advise going at slack tide, and on a weekday if possible so the boat traffic isn't too bad. Hope this helps!

Retired boomer, thirty-three years in Seattle area but from Santa Monica/Venice, California. Looking to relocate and recapture the beach life of my youth. Wilmington could be just the place. Are there some good boogie boarding spots near Wilmington? How about small-boat daysailing? Thx!

[@WilmingtonNCLiving]

There are great spots for both! Masonboro island is actually the best surfing spot in the area but there's also great beach breaks on Wrightsville and Carolina beach as well. As far as daysailing, there are an abundance of options between the Intracoastal waterways, Cape Fear River and the easy access to oceanside sailing through Masonboro Inlet. If you have any other questions about moving to the area feel free to reach out to me directly- 252-394-5968. Have a great day!

​@@WilmingtonNCLivingThanks so much, I really appreciate the information!

[@WilmingtonNCLiving]

No problem!!

[@comeseetheviolenceinherent579]

Is there a way to get to the island if I don’t have my own boat? Do they have any shuttle services?

[@WilmingtonNCLiving]

There is! The most well-known company that does this is Wrightsville Bech Scenic Tours (wrightsvillebeachscenictours.com/product/masonboro-cruise ). Never used them personally but they do have great reviews. Hope this helps!
