hot spots? Wilmington and Wrightsville
Beach have the perfect small-town charm
without losing any of the vacation usuals
you’ve come to expect. Home to a thriving
queer scene and overflowing with cute col
lege surfer boys, there should be plenty of
activities to keep you busy.
If you go:
• Take at least one night to head out to Club
Ibiza, Eastern North Carolina’s largest gay
and lesbian nightlife establishment.
• Visit the USS North Carolina, a WWII
battleship turned permanent memorial
and museum.
The Outer Banks
Golfing, camping, fishing, art galleries,
lighthouses, museums and more. There’s
nothing sweeter than being in the Outer
Banks. Pristine, natural environments,
warm Atlantic breezes and relaxing after
noons at a seaside restaurant, or even din
ner on the ocean!
If you go:
• Be sure to visit at least one of Carolina’s
historic lighthouses.
