Like everything else in Delaware, Wilmington sucks (I know, I live 15 minutes away). Nothing to do, the people aren’t interesting, the city looks like crap… The only real event that happens here is the Dupont Clifford Brown Jazz Festival.

I use to go to the beach with my family here every single summer until the age of 16. This place is like home for me. I love everything about the island. I like that it is only three blocks wide in some places, enabling you to see the bay from the ocean. You really feel connected to the sea. The surf is great. Of particular interest are Barnegat Lighthouse, and the nature preserve at the south end of the island.

This is a really nice place, but it can get pretty pricey so don’t come if you’re on a budget. Luckily for me, I have some family who live here. Some of the notable things to see here are the Jockey Ridge dunes, the Wright Brothers museum, the Lost Colony, Cape Hatteras, and Ocracoke island. The beaches are great too, of course.

This place is worth visiting. The park and falls are beautiful, the trails are nice, and the people are good. Entrance is a little expensive, so it’s up to you how to best make use of your time there.
