6 days in North Carolina Coast Itinerary

Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Battleship North Carolina and Airlie Gardens. Change things up with these side-trips from Wilmington: Sacred Willow Spa (in Calabash) and Sunset Beach Waterfront Park (in Sunset Beach). There's much more to do: take a stroll through Historic District, stop by Cape Fear Spice Merchants, brush up on your military savvy at Fort Fisher State Historic Site, and stop by Downtown Wilmington.
