Port City Showdown

What’s in a name? If the name is ‘Wilmington’, it’s Riverwalks.  The two coastal cities of Delaware and North Carolina share a whole lot more than just a name and a scenic Riverwalk. They share street names (Front, Water, Market and Orange, to name just a few), historic downtowns and some great eats.
Who will win the battle of Wilmington?

    We have been to both Wilmingtons the one in NC. has a lot more things to do that you can walk to. and very clean for us boaters. It also has great night life. and not that far from the ICW. and there are three marinas with in a mile of there.

    Wilmington NC by far is the most quaint little southern city. Since their renovation of the boardwalks and revitalization of the downtown area and the addition of their new deep water marina…you can’t beat it. The scenery from the boardwalk out over the water is just beautiful and the downtown food and drink is some of the best in the south…you won’t be disappointed!

    NC by a large Margin, beautiful beaches, marshes, Marinas, Boatyards, and downtown is special!

    Not even a close contest. Wilmington, NC, has that instantly recognizable southern charm with river boat captain’s homes near the water and a down right “flavor” of southern cooking all along the river walk. If you haven’t eaten at Chandlers Wharf or the Pilot’s House, you are missing out.
    A solid vote for Wilmington, “Nawth Careolineuh” 😁
