Things to do in  Wilmington

Bordered by the Cape Fear River to the west and the Atlantic to the east, Wilmington packs in some serious history and culture to its outdoor playground—the Battleship North Carolina sits right across from downtown and a stone’s throw from the city’s historic district dating back to 1738; Airlie Gardens and Cameron Art Museum (CAM) bring sophistication inland; and Wilmington’s scenic Riverwalk, aka “America’s Best Riverfront,” leads to so many places to see and things to do in Wilmington, including Carolina, Kure, and Wrightsville beaches, where surfing and watersports shine year-round.
