Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Kure Beach

"Bang Bang goes the Shrimp (and the applause) for Wilmington’s Bonefish Grill. Conveniently located in a central spot on New Center Drive, this chain operates like a pro. Bonefish is known for their attentive, spectacular service and consistently delicious dishes like the Wood-Grilled Chilean Sea Bass and the aforementioned Bang Bang Shrimp—which, BTW, rings up at just $5 on Wednesdays."

"Boasting two locations across town, Catch is a modern seafood restaurant that James Beard award-winning Chef Keith Rhodes and his wife Angela opened in 2006, and they have been serving outstanding seafood ever since. Striving to support North Carolina’s organic farmers, local fisheries, and sustainable fishing practices, Chef Keith Rhodes presents a menu of produce caught and farmed off the Cape Fear Coast. On the menu you will find creative dishes such as Red Miso Glazed Scottish Salmon served with wok-seared “drunken” rice noodles, bean sprouts, fresh coriander, and Thai basil, Cajun-fried North Carolina Oysters with Mindoro Blue Cheese Slaw and Texas Pete Aioli, and Pan-Roasted Oriental Back Fin, and Lump Crab Cakes served with White Truffle Mash and Pamlico Shrimp in a Cognac Bisque."

"The Cameron Art Museum, located at 3201 South 17th St., is one of Wilmington's cultural hubs, offering programs, exhibits and classes which aim to enrich lives through the arts. Check out the museum's exhibits, some that are on view for a limited time like Illumination, an exhibition of artist-made lanterns, demonstrating what light means to each artist personally through their style, content and choice of material. The exhibit will be viewable until Jan. 10."

"Louise Wells Cameron Art Museum highlights North Carolina’s rich artistic heritage. The museum boasts 15 galleries, displaying a unique blend of artwork from 18th century paintings to 20th century ceramics, decoys, sculptures and computer generated art. After viewing the renowned permanent collection and traveling exhibitions, visit the Museum Shop or stroll the 10-acre campus including the Civil War Battlefield and Sculpture Park."

"Selections from the museum's permanent collection of fine arts, decorative arts, and design by local, national, and international artists include a large number of works on paper by artists that include Mary Cassatt and Ando Hiroshige. Art from these collections is not on permanent display, but the works are presented in rotating themed exhibits. Collections are especially strong in works by North Carolina artists."

"We stopped at the Bellamy Mansion, Custom House, DeRossett House, Thalian Hall, and more. We learned so much about the city during the war. The National Register Historic District spans more than 230 blocks–one of the largest in the country. Wilmington was the last major open port of the Confederacy, and after its fall in 1865, the war soon ended."

"Include one of Wilmington’s historic houses, such as the Burgwin-Wright House (colonial era), Latimer House (Victorian era) or Bellamy Mansion (antebellum mansion). Check out the antique shops in downtown’s central business district and along the Castle Street Arts & Antique district."
