Prior
to the
construction
of the
causeway
, the
only
way
to
get
to
Harbor
Island
was by the
electric
beach
car
line
,
which
went
from
downtown
Wilmington
to
Wrightsville
Sound
. In
1925-1926
, the
causeway
was
constructed
from
Wrightsville
Sound
to
Harbor
Island
(the
Hammocks)
,
making
it
possible
to
drive
to the
island
.
It
was
still
necessary
to
take
the
beach
cars
over
to the
beach
as the
road's
eastern
terminus
was on
Harbor
Island
. A
toll
of
tens
cents
was
charged
for
driving
the
approximately
two
mile
distance
.
It
was not
until
the
mid-1930s
and the
construction
of
Waynick
Boulevard
on
Wrightsville
Beach
, that
it
was
possible
for
cars
to
drive
onto the
beach
.
