Your captain can take you to one of the island’s beautiful sandbars for swimming, shell hunting, or simply relaxing on the beach. Dolphins are often spotted along the way, and the surrounding marshes are home to a variety of coastal birds and marine life.

Whether you’re exploring the shoreline, enjoying a swim, or soaking up the coastal scenery, Masonboro Island is one of the most unforgettable stops along the Wrightsville Beach coast.
