Your guide to Wilmington
Introduction.
Wilmington is a colonial city with a cosmopolitan heart. Officially established in 1739, the city is integrated with the Cape Fear River and has a popular 1.75-mile Riverwalk, considered one of the best in the country. But it’s Wilmington’s proximity to the Atlantic Ocean that lures many visitors. Bordered by 31 miles of shoreline defining Cape Fear, the city boasts a trio of popular beaches whose recreational activities draw vacationers from all over. Downtown Wilmington’s cobblestone streets and pre-Victorian architecture are reminders of the city’s long and colorful past.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Wilmington
Given its location along the Gulf Stream, Wilmington experiences a humid subtropical climate characterized by incredibly mild winters (highs in the mid-50s Fahrenheit) and hot, sticky summers (highs in the lower 90s). It seldom snows during the cold months, and when it does, it’s generally light and melts quickly. More notable for Wilmington is its lengthy spring, beginning in late February and lasting through May, with a beautiful show of flowers. With summer comes heat and humidity, together pushing Wilmington’s heat index toward 100 degrees at its peak, driving many visitors to the beaches. The push and pull of warm Atlantic Ocean waters and the city’s geography in relation to storm system tracks puts it in prime tropical-storm territory. If you’re staying in one of the Wilmington’s vacation rentals during hurricane season, which peaks in September, make sure you pay close attention to local weather.
Top things to do in Wilmington
Carolina beach and kure beach.
Located on Wilmington’s southeastern shore, these neighboring beaches comprise an area aptly named Pleasure Island for its bounty of coastal escapades. Popular with ocean sports enthusiasts, these beaches are lined with rental shops offering kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, and surfboards; each has its own boardwalk.
Downtown Wilmington
Even if you’re staying on the beaches, it’s worth going out of your way to stroll downtown Wilmington’s historic district. Marking its roles in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and WWII, this living museum spans more than 230 blocks, making it one of the largest National Register Historic Places in the country. Explore on your own, or book one of the neighborhood’s many popular walking tours or horse-drawn carriages to learn as you go.
Airlie Gardens
To get an authentic taste of Southern scenery, book a ticket to Airlie Gardens on the banks of Bradley Creek, tucked onto Wilmington’s northeast side. Self-guided tours and bird hikes wind through an expansive 67 acres of paths, lakes, and landscaped gardens. Immaculately maintained for year-round visits, the gardens are filled with mossy oaks, an array of flowers and plants, and charming historic structures.

Kraig was a great captain, and we had the best experience! Our friends were visiting with their 2yo and 5yo kids, and Kraig helped tailor the trip so that everyone onboard enjoyed themselves. We cruised around Wrightsville and stopped off at Masonboro to do a little exploring. It was a day we'll always remember!
March, 2024
Captain Kraig answered all my questions before booking and made sure we were always comfortable and having a great time. The boat looks so much better in real life and is well maintained and clean
We had the best day with Kraig on his boat! The kids loved the beach he took us to, it was the highlight of our vacation!
5 stars. Reggie was AMAZING!💗
August, 2023
Oliver is an amazing captain! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary aboard Oliver’s sailboat and it was an amazing experience. He’s extremely personable, knowledgeable, and safe! We loved having the opportunity to help steer, put sails up, and dock the boat. We also loved the relaxing moments where we could soak up the sun and the view! We will definitely be booking other Oliver again and highly suggest him for anyone looking to do a boat ride in Wilmington. This is a must do!!
I would recommend this to anyone that would like the experience and feeling of being on a sailboat in a safe and peaceful manner. Captain Oliver was knowledgeable and a very pleasant person. More wind would have been appreciated but who’s in control of that.
