A Christmas by the sea is something everyone should experience at least once. "Beach" tends to be the last thing on most peoples' minds when they think of December and early January unless, of course, we're talking about a tropical beach escape.
However, what many people don't know is that the Cape Fear/Wilmington region of North Carolina (including Wrightsville, Carolina, and Kure Beach) enjoys average temperatures of 60℉ and just seven days total of rain in December. The weather in North Carolina in December is relatively mild, and you're more likely to experience pleasant days walking or reading on the beach with some light layers. Beyond the surprisingly temperate weather, Cape Fear provides a laundry list of no-brainer reasons to consider spending the holidays at the beach.

You'll spend less time waiting and more time relaxing or enjoying quality time with your loved ones, which is exactly how an ideal holiday trip should be spent. - Beach Vacation Rentals are Perfect for Large Family Gatherings
