My brother was living here. I went to visit and got to see a lot of the area with him. The waterfront was nice, as was the Serpentarium (if you’re into snakes, of course), Wrightsville Beach, Kure Beach and other neighborhoods.

Known first as New Carthage, and then as New Liverpool, New Town, and Newton, this city was given its present name in 1739 in honor of the earl of Wilmington. Technically, it isn't even on the coast; it's inland a bit, at the junction of the Cape Fear River's northeast and northwest branches.
