Wilmington Riverwalk
Tourist attraction
👍 Weekdays are chill, the place really comes alive in the evening after 5. Afternoons are great for a relaxing stroll and window shopping. They have a wide variety of food options and a few great dessert spots 😋 The river walk is built around so much history so it’s fun to do a bit of research before...

Masonboro Island Reserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 This little island is so beautiful. Uninhabited and only accessible by water, it still feels untouched by humans. The sand is white, the water is blue, and it feels like youre a million miles from home. (Bring a trash bag, to keep it that way)
