Spring break can seem an eternity away during the winter months. Fortunately, a “pre-spring” getaway to Wilmington can provide a winter respite to bridge the gap. Locals and return visitors to Wilmington and its island beaches know that there’s a sweet spot between the holidays and the onset of spring when there’s an abundance of things to see and do—which is why we love Wilmington in the winter.
With average February temperatures in the 50s, it’s pleasant to get outdoors and enjoy Wilmington’s historic riverfront and three nearby island beaches where ocean sunrises and dolphins greet the day, and uncrowded beaches invite leisurely walks and invigorating runs.
