The Wilmington Riverwalk with the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge beyond
The Port City, North Carolina

Welcome to
the Port City.

Wilmington sits nestled between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, the gateway to the Cape Fear Coast, where the history of the area is the history of boating itself.

A boater's delight

Your home port,
by nature.

To tell the history of Wilmington is to tell a story of boating. Early settlers, pirates, Civil War blockade runners, the Port City's fascinating past can still be explored and uncovered on the water today.

With so many family-friendly destinations nearby, you'll have a hard time picking a favorite. Cruise up the Cape Fear River to downtown, raft up at Masonboro Island or Figure Eight Island, or take a day trip to Southport or Bald Head Island.
