A lot of the beer footage was the Front Street Brewery, which has amazing food. Also, Airlie Gardens has something blooming, concerts and events and art exhibits all year. The Atlantic Ocean beaches are some of the most beautiful on the east coast. Wrightsville Beach is a barrier island nestled along side Wilmington. Other immediate neighbors are Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and the Fort Fisher Aquarium. Bald Head Island and Southport are a 45 minute drive or relaxing ride on the ferry boat system. The whole area comprises many possibilities of 10 to 45 minute wonderful day trips. This video is good, but please know there are many other amazing restaurants and art venues. (I used to live there for 34 years.)

Three of my sons went to UNC-Wilmington. I think it is a great campus and worth seeing.

You could add Fort Fisher, Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area, Carolina Beach, North Carolina Aquarium, University of NC Wilmington, state Port, and more. I do not live in Wilmington now, but I was born there and grew up there so I go back to visit family.

@OnViewCation Год назад

Thanks for the addition! Be safe and have a great day 💕

@@OnViewCation you are welcomed, the reason I chose to stay on the Emerald Coast is because the area reminds me of Wilmington and living on the coast. I hope to be there for a visit in September.

@coastalkimcrouch 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the video! I am a year round resident in Wilmington (and a realtor), and learned some things I didn't even know! Airlie Gardens is a favorite of mine, particularly Enchanted Airlie. This event sells out early every year, but if you are a member, you can get tickets early!

You should have spoken of Ms. Minnie Evans Garden.. I remember her fondly when I was a small child. Didn’t realize how important she was until I was an adult. Born and raised in Wilmington NC. Some things I miss dearly and some not so much.

Wilmington Brewing Company is the best brewery in town period. Should highly be featured on this video. Also, greenfield lake and amphitheater should be mentioned. The Pointe is great for different restaurants to check out along with shopping and a movie theatre!

My wife & I are going here end of April. Are there any pools around the beach that we may visit?

@coastalkimcrouch 4 месяца назад

Many homes around Wrightsville Beach have backyard pools, if you rent one while you're here. There are some communities with private community pools (I have an Airbnb with one). And the YMCA has a pool that is open to the public. But the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway are our biggest water playgrounds!

I live in Wilmington. Downtown Summer Concerts are no longer. Instead, there's a new big stage on the riverwalk, big acts are brought there, and they cost a lot. The free concerts for the locals just weren't good enough any longer for the business interests who just want to attract and entertain tourists and the rich folks who move here.

Beautiful video. I came on here trying to find out if there's palm trees in North Carolina. I actually didn't see it in this video, and I don't know what to make of it because when I googled states that have them it said North Carolina was one of them. Thanks for the upload, ViewCation, and hello from London-Ontario, Canada 😊

@OnViewCation Год назад

You're very much welcome! How are things there in London-Ontario?

@etimsam Год назад

@@OnViewCation lol we're seriously desirous to see some sun and warmth. It's Canada. It was a really long and cold Winter. The snow eventually went away but the sun is still taking it's time. It's Firstday May 7 and the sky is grey and it's raining outside as I write this. Don't bother to ask. There're no palm trees here. Can't wait to get back to the Caribbean. Well, enjoy your weather 🙂

@drewsquickfix Год назад

@@etimsam yes there are palm trees here in North Carolina even as far in as Raleigh due to global warming however they are not naturally brown they are purchased and planted but they seem to survive the winter

@etimsam Год назад

@@drewsquickfix Oh. That's a bit surprising. Actually, that's very surprising. How cold does it get there during winter? I didn't think they could survive the North American type of climate. Might depend on the variety. When I continued my search after I watched this video I did see them in other videos of North Carolina, but they looked kinda different. By that I mean they didn't have that thing about them that makes them stand out like in the Caribbean, South America, Africa and parts of Asia. I wish I could remember what video it was that I saw them in. Thanks for corresponding with me on this 🙂

@coreycobb3673 Год назад

So, what would YOU suggest. I've never visited. Maybe you have suggestions?

@drewsquickfix Год назад

@@coreycobb3673 well technically we're not really a tourist destination the university here and some local beaches a local politicians are in the pockets of all builders in property management companies so they over advertising travel here so people will stay our roads are now congested and we have high crime here. This used to be a peaceful college town. Not trying to be a downer but I'd say Myrtle Beach is more of a tourist destination. I would say the biggest tourist activity here is walking on the beach and eating at restaurants
