If you are shopping for local flavor, you'll find Lumina Station as satisfying as a day at the beach. Inspired by Lumina, the beloved Wrightsville Beach dance pavilion once central to the East Coast social scene, Lumina Station is so true to its historical roots that it won Coastal Living magazine's first-ever award for contextual design. Beautiful landscaping, whimsical sculptures and storybook bridges complement the heavily wooded campus, making strolling the Station a very pleasant way to pass the time. Rocking chairs — the center's signature icon — are grouped here and there under deep overhangs, providing a shady place to rest, enjoy a cappuccino or sit back and visit with passersby. Fortunately, the shops, restaurants and business located here are just as unique as the setting. Local merchants own and operate virtually all of the establishments. You'll find some truly special offerings, from jewelry and art to gift items, home accents and clothing for the entire family. You can pamper yourself in the day spa, work out with a personal trainer and enjoy a fabulous meal in one of the restaurants, all without ever getting into your car.
