Wilmington NC and the Cape Fear Coast 

Wilmington NC and the beaches of the Cape Fear Coast -- Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Wrightsville Beach -- hold delights and curiosities around every corner.

Will your discoveries set sail from the end of a dock or do they lurk in the surprise of a Civil War battlefield? Will you trace the footsteps of movie stars (Wilmington NC is home to a Screen Gems studio and One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek locations) or will you follow the baby sea turtles scampering into the sparkling midnight surf?

Stories from centuries past enlighten Wilmington guests along the Riverwalk and blocks of historic downtown, while the sandy beaches and romantic fishing piers of the Cape Fear Coast share their many flavors.

Fun and games aren't just for kids, you know! Wilmington NC and the Cape Fear Coast bring it all together: endless experiences, affordable options and a destination that's accessible by Interstate or airplane. Which means you can concentrate on the fun stuff.
