Things To Do
Wilmington Riverwalk
You will LOVE walking on the riverwalk for a way to start the day or a mid day refresher! You can see the Battleship North Carolina, do some shopping, or stop for a treat at the various restaurants and cafes along the river and all around downtown!
Slainte Irish Pub
Pronounced "slawn-cha", it is Wilmington's Oldest Irish Pub! Jameson and Guinness on tap, and likely a soccer match playing on the tv's - this little pub is one of our favorites in downtown!
The Half
Excellent place to grab a beer and sandwich for lunch. Enjoy their outdoor patio as well if the weather permits!
The Fork 'N' Cork
Featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives - the burgers here truly will take you on a trip to Flavortown. The dining area is small, so put your name in and grab a drink at one of the many bars in downtown Wilmington while you wait.
Hidden Grounds Coffee
Easily the coolest coffee shop in Wilmington! Enjoy your coffee outside in their back garden if the weather is nice!
Battleship North Carolina
After moving to Wilmington, touring the Battleship North Carolina was one of the first things on our long list of activities we wanted to jump right into!
Prost Biergarten
A great spot to grab a drink and a quick bite!
Crofton's Pretzels
A Wilmington staple!
The Kitchen Sink
A delicious and beautiful little spot to feed your cravings! Lunch time will be well spent here!
Brooklyn Cafe
Perfect place to stop for fresh beignets, a famous donut, or a coffee to curb your cravings!!
Indochine Restaurant
Our favorite restaurant in Wilmington!
South End Surf Shop
South End surf shop sits just a stone's throw from the beach where Hunter surfs. Stop in if you're craving a chat with some locals and smell the surf wax!
SUNdays
SUNdays is the best spot in Wrightsville to grab a coffee and walk on the beach in the morning if you ask us! You'll also probably have the chance to pet a pup if you step inside this stellar spot!
The Getaway Cafe and Provisions
Owned by our friend AnnaLee, we recommend the Getaway if you want to enjoy a morning drive down towards Carolina Beach along the Cape Fear River! With walking paths and beautiful views, you’ll love this breakfast spot!
