The weekend prior to this past one illustrated reason number 23,423,487 why I love North Carolina. We enjoyed 80 degree weather at the beach in October. Hank and I planned a lovely weekend away in Wrightsville Beach - one of my absolute favorite places.
We arrived to the beach just in time for an early lunch. We wanted somewhere right on the water, so we headed to Oceanic. Oceanic has typical beach fare, but I will say their drinks are tall, their fried shrimp only lightly breaded and their crab cake sandwich mostly crab.
We spent the afternoon sunning away, and we actually got a little burnt.
Once the afternoon sun faded, we walked up to Robert's Grocery to grab snacks. While you can buy Robert's Chicken Salad and Pimento Cheese at other locations for less, I've only seen his Low-Fat Chicken Salad and Monterrey Jack Pimento Cheese at his store, so I think it's worth the little extra to directly support local business (and your tastebuds). Robert has you covered with Wheat Thins too so it's certainly a one-stop shop right on the beach.
We shopped at Hallelu, snacked and relaxed before walking up to Tower 7 for the evening.
We had a great night, and enjoyed a nice walk on the beach the next morning.
We brunched at Sweet & Savory Cafe before hitting the road back home on Sunday. Every time I come to Wrightsville Beach, I leave with a list of all I still want to do next time.
