Where Joey and Pacey First Kissed - If you turn on Oleander from S. College Rd., and you'll keep going until you come to a stoplight that is Airlie Rd., you turn right on Airlie Rd. and as you're going down the Airlie Rd. you'll see a real sharp left turn. There's an area of grass just after the turn, that's where he pulled over, and you can see Wrightsville Beach in the background, and the water from the Intercoastal Waterway.
