- Watch the sun set at Wrightsville Beach.
Cap off an eventful date at Wrightsville Beach by watching the sunset. Pick a spot, either on the beach or on Crystal Pier, and watch the sky turn from vivid sky blue to shades of purple, pink, and orange.

Another idea: instead of watching the sunset, begin your date by watching the sun rise over the horizon instead. It can set the whole tone for the rest of the day.
