Go one way on Wrightsville Beach, you’ll see the famous Johnnie Mercer’s Fishing Pier, near the site where a giant sperm whale named Trouble once washed ashore and refused to leave. Go the other way to the classic downtown and points south, including the Coast Guard station and the site of the late, great Lumina Pavilion. Wrightsville Beach: The Luminous Island is Ray McAllister’s homage to a special place, a book that captures not only Wrightsville’s history but its heart. Along the way, he shares stories of fire and hurricanes and beach trolleys and Big Bands. … 2nd Edition hardcover signed by the Author. Now also in paperback.
