Things To Do
Wilmington Beaches
Wrightsville Beach - This beach is 20min from the historic downtown and has restaurants on the harborside. Carolina Beach - This beach is a little further from the historic downtown (25min), but has more restaurants and bars that you can hop around to (This is our recommendation if you only have time for one) *** Would recommend Ubering even if you have a car because finding parking at either beach is difficult***
Cargo District
This area is a 6min drive, but a great place to spend an afternoon. This district is very unique as it is made out of shipping containers and shows off New Wilmington. - The Starling (cocktail bar) - Cheesesmith (Grilled Cheese Shop) - Bull City (Ciders on tap) - Alcove (Bar) - And even more local shops and restaurants
Cocktail Bars
Underfront Co. (cocktail bar and live music) - 265 N Front St. The Ivey in the Alley (Bar and great throwback music) - 10 Wilkinson Alley
Hidden Grounds Coffee
Unique coffee Shop with a beautiful outdoor patio.
Historic Downtown Shopping
Take a stroll down Front Street and pop into local shops & markets like the Old Wilmington City Market or the Cotton Exchange.
Wilmington Deep Dive
If you have more time, there is boating, war history, and film/tv history tours (any One Tree Hill fans?).
Kilwin's
Looking for something sweet? This shop has fudge, ice cream and other desserts (free smells!).
Concorde Espresso Bar
If you like s'mores and espresso martinis this is the place for you!
