| HOT SUMMER FUN LINGERS ON |
| It doesn’t get much cooler than summer vacation in Wilmington and island beaches. Make the most of the season before the kids head back to school with these adventures! Tour through historic downtown on a Springbrook Farms carriage ride or on an electric bike with Wilmington Bike & Brews. Hop aboard a weekly Pirate Cruise in Carolina Beach and search for stolen treasure. Take a break from the heat and go indoors and under the sea at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher in Kure Beach, who welcomed more than 500,000 visitors last year! Book a half-day catamaran sail on Bella, Soundside Adventures in Wrightsville Beach’s newest 44-foot catamaran. There’s still plenty of summer left for an epic family adventure! |
