Local Attractions

There are so many nearby attractions you can visit while staying at Beau Rivage Golf & Resort.  Historic downtown Wilmington is like stepping back in time.  You might choose to tour one of the many restored antebellum mansions or stroll along our beautiful Cape Fear Riverwalk.  Downtown offers an abundant array of shops and an eclectic mix of fine restaurants to tempt your pallet and fit every pocketbook.  You also might enjoy a dinner cruise on the  Henrietta III, an old-fashioned, sternwheel paddleboat or explore the Battleship USS North Carolina, which is open to the public for daily touring.

Of course, Wilmington's most popular attractions are our many beaches.  Carolina and Kure Beach are only minutes from Beau Rivage.  When you're tired of splashing in the ocean or walking on the sand, you can enjoy a tour of Ft. Fisher, a Historic Civil War Battle Site and Museum, and stronghold of the Confederacy.  Or perhaps you'd rather cool off while viewing the marvelous display of aquatic life at the newly expanded, 93,000 square foot North Carolina Aquarium.  Both of these attractions are located at the South end of Kure Beach.   While on the South End, you can also enjoy a wonderfully relaxing 30-minute ride on the North Carolina car ferry to the lovely, seaside town of Southport.  There you can wander and shop in the quaint downtown area and enjoy a delightful sea-side lunch.  

Whatever your interests - be they golf, surf, sand, historic battle sites or modern-day shopping -  the Wilmington area is the perfect destination for your next vacation.
