Things To Do
The Bridge Tender
One of our favorite restaurants to grab a wonderful dinner with a gorgeous view of the intercostal. Great wine selection, fantastic menu.
Fish House Grill
Molly's favorite spot for dinner and drinks (lunch is great too). You cannot go wrong with their seafood tacos. Grab a spot outside by the water and enjoy the coastal atmosphere.
Wrightsville Beach South End Access 43
This is our favorite spot at Wrightsville Beach and where we got engaged!
SUNdays
Sam's all time favorite coffee shop. He recommends grabbing coffee early in the morning and taking it across the street out on the pier which you can access from Oceanic.
Tower 7 Baja Mexican Grill
The BEST tacos and Baja Mexican in town. Waits can be expected (small waits, moves fast - or grab a spot at the bar), for lunch and dinner so we recommend adding your name to the list and grabbing a drink at the beach bars while you wait. We like to wait with a glass of wine at Neptunes.
Lighthouse Beer & Wine
Local bottle shop with beer and wine on tap. There's an outside spot to relax and enjoy on tap items or selected beer/wine by the bottle or pack from the shop. This is definitely a more relaxed, casual spot.
Jimmy's
We suggest Jimmy's for a casual drink before grabbing dinner or lunch (we recommend Tower 7). This a local popular hangout spot on the beach strip where you can often hear live music. Very casual, very local.
Beach Bagels & Subs
Award winning NY Style Bagels. You do not want to miss out on one of these. We recommend "The Beast" on an Asiago bagel.
Airlie Gardens
A century of gardens by the sea. Located right by the beach, enjoy the vast gardens, nature, historic live oaks, at your leisure for a small admission fee. This is one of the most stunning places in Wilmington. We recommend heading here Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon.
