Wilmington Beach is located on the Kure Beach and Carolina Beach line and is accessible by Lake Park Boulevard and Dow Road. Many of the homes here were built within the past 10 years, but there are some beach cottages dating back to the 1950s. Wilmington Beach homes range in price and style for this reason, but the location can't be beat. The beach is within walking distance and many of the homes here are still outside of a flood zone, making this a more affordable section of the island.
