I am considering relocating to Wilmington. What volunteer environmental activities are available in this area? (my special interests are whales & dolphins.)
I don't know about volunteer activities, but we see dolphins in the Intercoastal waterway from about Wrightsville Beach south. I got a picture of one in the marina at Mt. Pleasant (north of Charleston) at

The University of North Carolina at Wilmington is a major university, but this is much more than just a college town. However, you will notice a youthful spirit around here with plenty of artist, bars and coffee houses to keep the young at heart of all ages happy.
Wrightsville Beach is one of three major beach destinations in the area. The others are Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The white sands and large homes make Wrightsville an impressive beach and I noticed that the crowds seemed very family-friendly.
Red Robin's is more famous for their stacked burgers than anything else... However, my mom and I go there for their salads and wraps. I have tried all of their wraps and hard time deciding which one to order each time I go...which is fairly often (sometimes up to once a week).
It can be loud in there...Most of the waiters are high school or college kids having a good time. It's very family oriented and has discounts for kids on certain nights with the mascot showing up once a week. In fact their website says Parents Magazine named them one of the top 10 family restaurants.
They usually have games on to watch which I've always liked. They also have a small bar and arcade.
Alcoholic drinks are served!!!
