Local Information

Boasting a historic downtown riverfront and three beautiful island beaches, Wilmington, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Wrightsville Beach offer a destination of endless vacation experiences. The heart of Wilmington is concentrated in its lively, walkable river district, which showcases the city’s progressive culture and historic setting. Defined by its rich past and a bright future, Wilmington, NC, is a vibrant riverfront city with timeless character that has preserved its historic places, while fostering an ever-evolving independent spirit. From the charm of its moss-draped, brick-lined historic district to the evolving north-end of its river district, there are new things to discover around every corner. As history moves forward with each exciting new addition, the city mingles historic architecture with modern design and new attractions like a waterfront park and amphitheater, hotels and restaurants – all connected by the nearly two miles of scenic Riverwalk making it easy to move around. At the center of it all is the river that inspires new experiences and fresh ideas, as seen from the local storefronts and cafes, to the film industry, and local arts and music scene.
