`Hello,

My family is interested in taking a day trip to one of the NC beaches. Each year we go to Wrightsville Beach which has been great. The water is gorgoues there. The only problem with it is I haven't found a public access point that has nice bathrooms AND places to eat. I was doing some reading about Atlantic Beach and read about Atlantic Beach Circle. Is this a nice area to head to for a day trip to the beach? Hpw is the beach? I'm from the North and very used to beaches that have a boardwalk with many bathrooms and lots to eat. I realize that it isn't like that in NC but as long as there is easy access to food and bathrooms we'd be happy. I would enjoy a nice beach as well. The water at Wrightsville reminds me of the Carribean. Thanks so much!!!
