Long-Running NC Beach Resort Gets New Look, Name
A Wrightsville Beach hotel that’s been open since 1964 has been given a full makeover and a new name. The Blockade Runner Beach Resorts is now The Trailborn Surf & Sound. The 151-room hotel sits on 3.5 acres with the Banks Channel on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other.
The Charlotte Business Journal reports Castle Peak Holdings bought the hotel in 2022 and announced last year that it would undergo an extensive renovation and rebrand as Trailborn Surf & Sound. This is Trailborn’s fourth hotel and first beachfront resort property.
The renovations include easier access to the beach, an updated pool bar and an expanded restaurant. The restaurant, La Duna Paradiso, will feature Italian.
Room prices in May begin at $263 per night early in the month and rise from there.
