Living in the Wilmington area affords many opportunities to show off your athletic skills. The various and numerous golf courses, the bountiful water sports, as well as jogging and biking trails.  Perhaps that is why the Wilmington area has been hosting the Beach 2 Battleship Iron Man triathlon for several years now.

The Beach 2 Battleship competition takes place this weekend (October 29, 2011) bringing competitors from all over the country, and in fact, all over the world. Participants can choose full distance and half distance as well as team up to split the running, biking or swimming among their teammates.

If you are taking part in Beach 2 Battleship in anyway, volunteering or as a contestant – thank you and Good Luck!

Yes, I know the beach and vacation (or stay-cation) seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly, but most of us who live in the Wilmington area take the area beaches for granted.  From Topsail Beach (pronounced Top-sull, for our northern friends) all the way down to Oak Island, the beaches offer what everyone is searching for on a stay-cation, respite from a hectic day.  It’s no secret that when you hit the beach chair with your favorite book, or even sit and watch the ocean, all your worries fade away.

If you’re planning a last minute summer get-away Orbitz named Wrightsville Beach a bargin in this article.

So tell us, which of our many beaches is your favorite escape?

Another joy of living in Coastal Carolina is the ability to plan a fabulous stay-cation.  In fact, it is  such a popular idea around here that I’ve heard friends say that they have to force themselves to leave “paradise” in order to find another paradise.

But maybe you’re newer to the area, and want to discover all we have to offer.  Or maybe you have family or friends coming to visit you since you moved near the beach.  The Wilmington, North Carolina area has so much to offer beside the beaches.  Perhaps it’s time to see the area through the eyes of a tourist!

We would love to spotlight each attraction individually and want your input on your favorite haunts, sites and area’s must-dos! If you live in the area, please comment with your favorite space or place. If you’ve visited our area, what attraction did you enjoy the most? Maybe you’ve only read about us and are planning a visit – what’s piqued your interest? We’ll do our best to spotlight it and bring you the facts!
