Riverwalk on Cape Fear River
The Riverwalk is a boardwalk along the Cape Fear River in the heart of downtown Wilmington. Walk along and stop at local shops, bars, and restaurants!
Wrightsville Beach
Everyone loves a beach day! Located just 15 minutes from downtown Wilmington is one of NC's most gorgeous beaches. We definitely recommend if you're looking for a relaxing day.
Cape Fear Riverboats
Take a sunset cruise or sightseeing tour on the water
Wilmington Historic Tours
Take a WWII tour or a historic house tour either with a group or just download their app and do a self-guided tour of the city's historic sites!
One Tree Hill Experience
Kathleen's absolute favorite TV series, One Tree Hill, was filmed in Wilmington, so naturally she has to suggest visiting all the filming locations! And if you haven't seen the show, it's streaming on Hulu ;) (Disclaimer from groom: It is a lengthy 9 seasons)
