If you\u2019re looking to relax beachside, enjoy some incredible southern fare, or tee it up on world-class golf courses, Wilmington, North Carolina is sure to be one of the best places to spend Labor Day weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A stunning, Historic River District is the main draw to the area, with a beautiful boardwalk along the Cape Fear River. Lined by several cafes, boutiques, restaurants, and more, there\u2019s arguably no better spot to relax along the eastern seaboard.

Home to Screen Gem Studios, Wilmington is often referred to as the \u201cHollywood of the East\u201d thanks to its infamous movies and television shows that have been filmed in and around the city.
