New Hanover County
The port city of Wilmington NC, just 50 miles south of Jacksonville, NC, resonates with history and southern charm, yet embraces its newer role as an arty college town and tourist destination.
Located between the Cape Fear River to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the east is New Hanover County NC. Wilmington has seen a tremendous population growth over the past 25 years. It is alive with a vibrant downtown waterfront where you will find endless dining possibilities, chic boutiques, antiques and specialty stores and art galleries. Stroll the 1.5 mile River Walk where you can get a panoramic view of the WWII battleship North Carolina, a floating museum moored on the opposite banks of the river. View living history with a carriage ride through Wilmington's impressive 100-block historic district. Take in a show at the recently restored Thalian Hall, the 150 year-old theater that hosts over 250 performances each year. Bring the kids to the Children's Museum or view the latest exhibits at the Cameron Art Museum.
Real estate development of new homes just north of downtown Wilmington NC created demand for shopping, dining and other convenience. Answering this need is Mayfaire, an expansive shopping - dining- entertainment center where you will find upscale stores, elegant dining, and a state-of-the-art 12-screen movie theater.
No visit to the Wilmington NC area is complete without a visit to the ocean so head out to Wrightsville Beach famed for its Caribbean-blue water and fine white sand.
