Geocache Description:

Lumina Days. Though this geocache is not in the actual location of the original Lumina it is in a place that named after the historical pavilion.

The first large structure built on Wrightsville Beach was the Carolina Yacht Club, built in 1853. Later in the century, a turnpike was built to connect Wrightsville with the mainland. Shortly thereafter, the Wilmington Seacoast Railroad Company constructed a track between Wilmington and Wrightsville and development on the Island began. The rail carried an electric trolley and with it thousands of visitors from NC and other eastern states. Wrightsville Beach emerged as a popular summer vacation destination. In 1905, the Lumina pavilion was opened. The 12,500 square foot complex hosted many of the day’s top big bands. It also boasted a movie screen positioned over the oceans waters! Though this geocache is not in the actual location of the original Lumina it is in a place that named after the historical pavilion. You will find a tucked away little shopping area with great restaurants and stores. You might see some of local wildlife around while searching. Turtles seem to be in abundance! Enjoy. (This is our first hide, let us know if there are any problems.)
