Wilmington and North Carolina’s Cape Fear Coast — Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Wrightsville Beach — holds delights and curiosities around every corner. Set sail or learn to surf. Trace the footsteps of movie stars. From riverboats to battleships, screen gems to Civil War scenes, river walks to ghost walks, Wilmington N.C. and the Cape Fear Coast bring together endless experiences, affordable options and a destination accessible by interstate or by airplane.
Close by the Cape Fear Coast beach communities, Wilmington has a charm and style all its own — befitting an historic port city with roots that go back almost three centuries and the energy of a thriving destination. Every corner you turn reveals something unexpected: A World War II battleship; a thriving movie production studio; cobblestone streets with horse-drawn carriages; elegant restaurants; splendid gardens; unique crafts and shops; music festivals; microbreweries; theatrical performances; art galleries; history museums; welcoming nightspots.... Well, we won't spoil all of the fun. (There are plenty of themed tours you can take — by foot, boat and even trolley — to make sure you don't miss a thing.)
Live entertainment is interwoven throughout Wilmington and the Cape Fear Coast's cultural tapestry. Home to the famed North Carolina Azalea Festival, N.C. Jazz Festival and 85+ other cultural, musical and festive happenings, there are plenty of events to work into your itinerary.
And at the coast, there's always plenty to do — you can cast a line from the 700-ft. long fishing pier, or explore nearby Fort Fisher, the last stronghold of the Confederacy. Relax and play on miles of pristine beaches. Gaze in awe at the 200,000+ gallon saltwater tank at the handy aquarium, or hike along a 4-mile stretch of undeveloped beach in the state park. Shop for the latest beachwear and check out what's in style at the surf shops. Hop a ferry from the islands for a breathtaking view on a trip to the mainland. Dine on some of the best seafood this side of the Mississippi. But maybe the best thing about the Cape Fear Coast is that there's always plenty of nothing to do just as well.
Fortunately there are also plenty of places to stay, in all price ranges, so you can relax and take all the time you need to experience Wilmington and N.C.'s Cape Fear Coast.
