Review:
Wilmington is home to a 230-block National Historic District, replete with antebellum homes, historic churches, oak tree lined streets and brick sidewalks. A kriverwal along the river front takes visitors past the Battleship North Carolina, a World War II battleship turned museum. Along the seashore, the Carolina Boardwalk offers pedestrian friendly wildlife and nature viewing. Visit Kure Beach’s Fort Fisher State Historic Site, the site of Civil War’s largest land and sea battle, now adjacent to the North Carolina Aquarium. Enjoy the surf at Wrightsville Beach, one of the top surfing destinations on America’s east coast.
