Things To Do
Carolina Beach Boardwalk
About 20-25 minutes south of downtown is Carolina Beach. Explore the boardwalk, lots of restaurants, and of course - the beach!
Wilmington Downtown Riverwalk
Enjoy a scenic stroll along the nearly two-mile Wilmington Riverwalk, lined with shops and cafes, and don’t miss the view of the historic Battleship North Carolina docked just across the Cape Fear River.
Oceanic at the Crystal Pier
Dine on fresh, Southern-inspired seafood with panoramic Atlantic views at Wrightsville Beach’s only oceanfront restaurant, perched at the start of the historic Crystal Pier.
Ponysaurus Brewing Co.
Just a 2 minute walk from the venue is a laid-back brewery with a great selection of craft beers—our favorite courtyard to enjoy pizza, delicious drinks, and good company.
Cloud 9 Rooftop Bar
Our favorite rooftop bar—sip cocktails with stunning views of downtown Wilmington and the Riverwalk from this lively, open-air spot.
Airlie Gardens
A beautiful spot filled with blooming gardens, oak trees, and walking trails—this is where we got engaged, so it holds a special place in our hearts!
