Tipps für Reisende
Verkehrsmittel
Driving is the best way to get around.
Uber and Lyft are available. If you have an early flight, be sure to schedule out your ride in advance. Also, if you go to Wrightsville Beach, be aware that the bridge opens every hour for about 10 minutes, halting all traffic during this time so try to avoid driving across the bridge near the hour.
