Kure Beach + Fort Fisher | Wilmington, North Carolina | Travel Vlog January 2021

This is the first travel vlog of 2021! I am so excited to take you guys to the North Carolina coast, to Wilmington, and to experience different locations in the area.
In today's video, we start out at Merritt's Burger House, which is a staple of Wilmington history. Then we explore the Kure Beach & Fort Fisher area of Wilmington, go to the NC Aquarium, the trees down at Fort Fisher, the beach itself, and we end our day at Freddie's down at Kure Beach.
I love this area of Wilmington, North Carolina, and you might recognize some places if you have watched One Tree Hill! Naley forever, am I right?!
I am so pumped to show you guys the rest of this mini series, and I hope you enjoy it!

    Hush puppies look sooooo good. However that pickle sandwich I will let you keep. That’s the cheapest cost of an aquarium ever so now I must go. OTTERS. ALBINO GATOR. Ugh I need my feet in water. The beach brings me such peace. BEND INSTEAD OF BREAK. Dude your dinner. So good. Get me all the food.

    Such a cool spot Kure Beach. Stayed at the Air Force Rec Center couple years back and enjoyed the small town beach vibe. Since your headed to Carolina Beach definitely recommend a small little ice cream spot called Squigleys. Fun little store.

    Hush Puppies are a food?? I thought Hush Puppy was just one of Lambchop’s friends! Woooah, albino alligator, he’s so beautiful! That “lobster” terrifies me. In fact, all of those creatures are reminding me why the ocean terrifies me in general. Ugh peach pecan pork chop....first I wanted a burger, now I want this....I’m hungry....

    Is this city and beach diverse or will minorities be shunned?

    It’s pretty diverse, but Wilmington does have a deep southern history when it comes to policing, in particular. The Wilmington Massacre is not super well known in most history books, but it is a huge piece of this towns’ history. But now, I would say it is pretty diverse when it comes to minorities. It’s not New York City or even Charlotte, but for a small town, it seems diverse to me.
