ESCAPE ON A FALL RENEWAL GETAWAY

Embrace fall renewal on the coast with wellness activities from river to sea. Find your Zen in Airlie Gardens select days through Oct. 18 or practice your Warrior Pose during a scenic yoga class on Battleship NORTH CAROLINA, offered select days through Nov. 6. Connect with nature and shop local artisans at Art in the Arboretum Oct. 13-15 at New Hanover County Arboretum. Relax and take in scenic sunset views on a river sunset cruise with Cape Fear River Boats or Wilmington Water Tours or head to the beach for a sunset cruise on Wrightsville Beach’s crystal blue waters. Hike the seaside Basin Trail in Kure Beach to spot coastal wildlife or rent a kayak from Paddle NC at Carolina Beach State Park and paddle the calm waterways. Escape to coastal relaxation and recharge before the hectic holiday season commences.

Pet-Friendly Trip Ideas
No need to book a pet sitter for your next getaway - bring Fido with you! Our coastal destination offers an abundance of pet-friendly activities, restaurants, shops and more. Stroll the Riverwalk with coffee and a pup cup from Maroon Monkey Coffee Co., then pop into Unleashed, a boutique pet store. Head to the Cargo District for Ruff Draft, Wilmington’s only off-leash dog park and full-service bar with a Mess Hall walk-up window. Rent a kayak from Hook, Line & Paddle and set out for a water paw-ty.
Halloween Haunts
Prepare for a gourd time at the coast. As one of the South’s most actively haunted cities, there is no shortage of Halloween fun in Wilmington. Hear haunted tales on a Ghost Walk or pair your scare with local libations on a Haunted Pub Crawl. Visit the Chapel of Horrors, a new interactive haunted house experience brought to you by local horror film crew. Find family-friendly fun on a Ghost Trolley Ride through historic downtown Oct. 26-28 or at a special Story Time by the Sea Oct. 28.
