Discover Wilmington

The small coastal town of Wilmington has bloomed over the past 10 years thanks to film studios moving in, a thriving nightlife and a growing university. Though the growth has brought new residents to the area, the quaint feel still seeps through the town's historic downtown. On any day of the week, you can expect to see horse-drawn carriages and walking tours telling stories of yesteryear. The foodie scene is laden with restaurants serving up seafood that can only be caught in the local region. The culture has shifted from bars serving up American fare to innovative dishes presented by renowned chefs. In addition, it's common to find local restaurants serving up Thai, Mexican and Greek food.
