Cheers to 60 years.

Blockade Runner Beach Resort has hosted generations of getaways on the shores of Wrightsville Beach. This year, the iconic resort is celebrating its Diamond Anniversary with ‘60s-themed throwback events. Look forward to:

  • Retro pool parties with vintage cocktails + ‘60s tunes
  • Jam-packed summer activities (think: surfing, sailing, kayaking, shopping, and more)
  • Lounging in private cabanas, beachside, or on manicured oceanfront lawns

Bonus: Snag a retro stay package for a ‘60s-themed gift, $60 dining credit + 60-minute surf or boogie board rental.
