Things To Do
Wrightsville Beach
We had many of our first memories on this beach! Go on a lovely beach walk or sit and soak up the sun!
Wilmington Downtown Riverwalk
Calling all Dawson's Creek and One Trill Hill lovers... downtown Wilmington is one of our favorite spots to spend some time. Bars, restaurants, shops, and filming locations galore, not to mention the beautiful view of the Cape Fear River! Check out the Cotton Exchange for some local shops and see our restaurant recommendations for great places to grab a bite!
WB Loop
This is a Wilmington local must! Spend an hour or so walking "the loop", a pathway through the beautiful beach town of Wrightsville Beach with water views and scope out the local neighborhood! The distance is 2.45mi all the way around and flat. Park at the Town of Wrightsville Beach Park and text WBPark to 25023 for 2 hours free parking! (Or if you are staying in Wrightsville Beach, you may be able to walk or bike to the starting point)! Enjoy!!
Airlie Gardens
Such a great place to spend a few hours among some beautiful gardens. If you dream of days among centuries old oak trees and camellias, come here for a lovely afternoon!
Wrightsville SUP - Kayak & SUP Rentals, Lessons, and more
For those more adventurous guests, this local shop offers paddleboarding, yoga, and surfing tours and rentals!
University of North Carolina Wilmington
Come see the place where it all began for us! Walk around campus or organize a formal campus tour through the Admissions office! Visitor parking is located by the baseball field, and from there you can enjoy a lovely stroll along Chancellors walk, around the Leutze lakes, and even back to the new Health Sciences quad! If you would like more personal tips, ask away!
Battleship North Carolina
"Battleship NORTH CAROLINA participated in every major naval offensive in the Pacific theater of operations during World War II, earning 15 battle stars. This authentically restored National Historic Landmark proudly serves as her State’s World War II Memorial to the 11,000+ North Carolinians who made the ultimate sacrifice." This historic ship is an icon of downtown Wilmington! Pairs easily with a day spent along the Riverfront shops and dining!
