Wilmington, NC, in the heart of the Cape Fear coast, is rich in culture and history. Known for its natural beauty, nautical legacy and Southern hospitality, Wilmington encompasses the charm of a small historic town with the contemporary industrial benefits of a big city. Along the banks of the Cape Fear River is one of the state's largest historic districts, numbering almost 230 blocks. Across the river lies the majestic Battleship North Carolina, a remnant from World War II that has since been restored. |
History buffs and art lovers will enjoy the museums and galleries that Wilmington boasts, and movie lovers will be thrilled to learn that Wilmington is the country's third-largest movie mecca. Recreational opportunities abound in the area, from fishing, surfing and kayaking to golf courses that are playable year-round due to the mild temperate climate. The beautiful, uncrowded beaches of Wrightsville Beach are a haven to sunseekers and nature lovers alike. It's no wonder Business 2.0/CNNMoney.com recently named Wilmington one of the United States' Top 10 Places to Invest. |
