The great thing about a quick visit to Wilmington, North Carolina is you don’t need a lot of time to see and do a lot of things. I’m not recommending rushing your visit, but I am saying it’s a great place to do a lot if your time is limited.
Make your way to historic downtown Wilmington and the River Walk and you’ll be able to enjoy outdoor dining, shopping, and great coffee all in one afternoon.
Outdoor Dining
Visitors can choose from a long list of popular dining options that offer indoor and outdoor dining. There’s seafood, Italian, Mexican, Greek, fondu, sushi, and more. On a recent visit, we dined at a waterfront favorite, Elijah’s. Outdoor seating on the Cape Fear River supplied the perfect ambiance for our seafood luncheon.
Shopping in Wilmington
Adding to the shopping opportunities, there are multiple street festivals and fairs throughout the year. The calendar is filled with several more to come this season!
Wilmington Coffee Shops
Wilmington, North Carolina is a beautiful and historic city situated on the state’s eastern coastline and is well worth spending time visiting. Its unique character, its arts and entertainment, eclectic shops and culinary scene gives the city a fabulous, fun vibe. However, should you find yourself limited on time while there, it’s still possible to make the most of day-tripping downtown.
