Through local initiatives and conservation efforts, the best of the Carolina coast is becoming even better as it works toward a more sustainable future. We welcome visitors to witness firsthand how Wilmington is making a difference and doing its share to protect the planet.

I forget that Wilmington is ostensibly a beach town. Surrounded by three beaches, many people think of us as a destination based around summer sun and waves.
