📍 A recent survey named South Lumina Avenue in Wrightsville Beach the most stressful place to park in North Carolina.
💵 Parking generally runs about $5/hour on the street and $6/hour in lots.
🚶 Heavy pedestrian traffic and roughly a dozen nearby beach access points add to congestion.
📊 The bigger number: 59% of North Carolinians surveyed said they have avoided a summer destination because parking was too stressful.
🏖️ Seaforth Access at Jordan Lake was also identified as one of the state’s more frustrating parking locations.
CRE / Business Takeaway:
Parking is not just a convenience issue. It can directly affect whether people visit a destination, how long they stay, and ultimately how nearby businesses perform.
