There are few remaining quaint destinations in the U.S. that
haven't been overly exploited for what they have to offer. From
the southern charm of Savannah to the natural beauty of the
Wisconsin Dells area, there is a certain tourist element that
has pervaded every corner of the country, from coast to coast.
Fortunately, there are still places to visit that aren't highly
popular tourist destinations yet still offer a glimpse of life
enjoyed at a different pace. One of them is Wilmington, North
Carolina.
Though a modern small city by any definition, Wilmington has
the past coursing through its streets and on display in the
architecture prevalent in the historic preservation district.
Long a sea port from as far back as the late 18th century, its
wind swept hills and proximity to the cape fear river have
provided equal measures of importance and isolation.
Outside of its historical feel and significance, Wilmington is
known locally for two things: golf and some of the best seafood
to be found on the eastern seaboard. Picturesque and serene
grasslands have been developed into multiple championship level
golf courses, each with its own challenges. For those who
appreciate the palate pleasing enticement of freshly caught fare
from the Atlantic, there are several seafood restaurants in
Wilmington that would eclipse the best offerings of most major
cities.
If deep sea fishing or cruising are of interest to you, there
are several day cruises and charters available that offer
incredible views of the shoreline as well as the opportunity to
reel in a big one. Wilmington's beaches are pristine, and though
a small summer tourist season that seems to be growing year
after year may keep you from enjoying complete privacy, there's
plenty of sand and surf to be enjoyed. Unlike the crowded
sunbathing spots of other east coast destinations that would
leave one hard pressed to find a place to lay a blanket, you can
relax with room to spare on Wilmington's sandy shores.
So the next time you decide to get away for a while but don't
want to experience the hassle or expense of traveling overseas,
give Wilmington, North Carolina a try. But remember, if you fall
in love with it's charm and beauty, it might be a good idea to
keep it to yourself.
