Whether you’re here on vacation, or you’re lucky enough to live here year-round, we love it when you stop in SurfBerry for a visit. In case you need an excuse, here are 5 ways we will help you cool off at Wrightsville Beach this Summer.

5 ways SurfBerry will help you cool off at Wrightsville Beach this Summer:

1. Surf’s Up! There’s no better way to cool off this Summer than taking a dip in the beautiful ocean – and surfing happens to be one of our favorite ways to enjoy Wrightsville Beach. Whether you’re looking for surfboard rentals while on vacation, or your wanting to improve your surfing skills with group or private lessons, our partners at WB Surf Camp have you covered. Click here to learn how we can help you with your surfing needs.
2. Paddle board Excursions: Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) is all the rage lately, especially here at Wrightsville Beach – and for good reason. It’s a fun way to get out on the water and explore the area, while getting in a nice workout. The pros at Cape Fear Paddleboard offer both small group and private lessons to help you make the most of your SUP experience. If you already know how to SUP and are looking to rent some equipment while here on vacation, we have rentals available as well.
3. Creamy Frozen Treats: Craving a cold, creamy treat but don’t want the not-so-healthy ingredients, like artificial sweeteners? You’re in luck! Here at SurfBerry we have both Frozen Yogurt and Milkshakes to satisfy those cravings. Our frozen yogurt is rich in probiotics, Kosher, contains no high-fructose corn syrup and we always have one dairy free flavor available. Our Milkshakes are homemade to order with our Frozen Yogurt, organic milk, and whipped cream.
4. Fuel Up: All the surfing and SUP’ing here at Wrightsville Beach is plenty of reason to fuel your body with some of our favorite healthy, cool treats here at SurfBerry. Our delicious Superfood Smoothies, Cold-Pressed Juices, and Acai & Pitaya Bowls are made with organic produce and are packed with essential vitamins and nutrients your body needs to thrive this Summer – and keep up with your action packed schedule of fun activities!
5. Hawaiian Shave Ice: A truly unique icy treat! Our Hawaiian Shave Ice comes straight from ice blocks made right here in house with our reverse osmosis purified water. Add some tasty tropical syrups that contain natural sweeteners and no high-fructose corn syrup, and you have yourself a piece of the tropics right here in North Carolina. As our owner Rick Civelli says, “As a surfer, when you make a pilgrimage to the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaiian shave ice is a must on your ‘to-do’ list…We’re bringing Hawaii to Wrightsville Beach.”

Next time you head to Wrightsville Beach, make sure to stop on by SurfBerry and take advantage of one (or more!) of these 5 ways to cool off this Summer! We look forward to seeing you soon!

Our mission is to bring the energizing, healing powers of super foods and organic juicing to Wrightsville Beach, while educating people on the life enhancing qualities of healthier eating and active living. It’s all about LIFESTYLE (Vitamin L); we believe the cleaner you eat, the more energy you will have, and then more fun activities you can enjoy. Recent studies show just how impactful Vitamin L can be to your overall health, including a decreased risk for degenerative diseases like heart disease and diabetes in both men and women. We’d love for you to come and get a big does of vitamin L at SurfBerry and learn why a healthy lifestyle is the best way to live!

Get a Big Dose of Vitamin L at SurfBerry: 3 Simple Ways to Increase Your Vitamin L

1). Eat clean.

Eating foods rich in vitamins and nutrients is the way to go when it comes to good health! This means lots and lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats (like seeds and nuts), and lean proteins – whole foods that aren’t found in boxes or bags. Aim for 9-13 servings of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables daily. Green smoothies are a great way to get a lot of those servings in. When you limit the processed foods and incorporate more whole foods into your diet, your body will thrive and you’ll have more energy to do all the activities you love.

2). Spend quality time with your loved ones.

They say laughter is the best medicine, and here at SurfBerry we couldn’t agree more. Spending quality time with yourself and your loved ones is one of the most important things you can do for your health, because it helps you de-stress and focus on what’s really important in life. Our favorite way to do that is by taking a technology detox 1 day each week. Shut down your phone, stay off the computer, and do something fun with your loved ones. When the weather is nice the best choice is to unwind at Wrightsville Beach of course! (Make sure you stop by to see us to grab a healthy snack!) You’ll return back to work and your daily obligations feeling refreshed and renewed.

3). Get outside and be active.

Moving your body is another great way to reduce stress and increase your happiness. Wrightsville Beach is the water sports capital of the East Coast – surfing, fishing, paddleboarding, running, kayaking, walking, swimming are just some of the many amazing things to do in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. We offer a wide array of beach rentals – including paddle board and kayak rentals – and fun activities – like surfing lessons and paddle board excursions. Anything you need to enjoy some quality time by yourself or with your loved ones you can find here at SurfBerry! Warning – instant happiness and a stress-free day are often side effects 🙂
