TRAVEL
Via plane:
Wilmington airport is served by US Air and Delta. http://www.flyilm.com
Raleigh airport is 2 hrs. away and the drive is all 4 lanes from Raleigh airport to Wrightsville Beach. http://www.rdu.com . Raleigh rush hour traffic is pretty serious.
Myrtle Beach airport is about 2 hrs. away but in May the vacation traffic can be serious.
Wrightsville Beach is 4 hrs. south of Richmond, Va (all 4 lanes) and 1 and ½ hrs. north of North Myrtle Beach, SC. I-40 ends very near Wrightsville Beach. HWYS 74-76 from I-95 are 4 lanes to Wrightsville Beach. Since last time many of you have raced here, a new bypass west and south of the Cape Fear River has been built. You no longer drive through the middle of Wilmington. Watch for the signs to save about 25 mins.
DIRECTIONS TO CAROLINA YACHT CLUB from Wilmington
401 S. Lumina Drive, Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480, 910-256-3396
From Wilmington, take highway 74 east bypass to Wrightsville Beach. After crossing the drawbridge over the Intracoastal Waterway, follow right fork in road (highway 76…sign reads “Welcome to Wrightsville Beach”). Continue until you cross a fixed bridge. Turn right immediately at traffic light onto Waynick Blvd. Go about a half mile to CYC-NC, which is located next to a water tower and faces Waynick Blvd.
PARKING: Meters are enforced 9 AM until 6PM. 7 days a week. Park in yacht club parking lot.
The meter guys will ticket you in a heartbeat. $20 per day fine.
Trailers are to be parked in a special location, not in the yacht club parking lot or boatyard. Trailer parking lot maps will be posted at the soundside gazebo. Thank you for your cooperation.
