Wilmington NC's Historic River District and Island Beaches

Our Waters Spark Romance & Renewal

From the historic downtown river district to three colorful island beaches, Wilmington, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Wrightsville Beach are filled with a boundless bounty of festivals and events this winter season to escape those winter blues.

From horse-drawn carriage rides on brick lined streets, savory seafood restaurants with a water view, to lively evening jazz concerts, Wilmington and our island beaches provide the perfect backdrop for romantic Valentine getaways.

February 3-5 features two signature events: the N.C. Jazz Festival (a Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 Event) and the Wilmington Wine & Chocolate Festival.

Mild winter temperatures are the perfect time to explore Wilmington’s year-round museums, attractions, tours and miles of uncrowded island beaches. From travel packages to special rates, experience all that Wilmington and our island beaches have to offer!
