<p>We (parents, 2 teens) are planning a college visit for the weekend before Easter in April. Any hotel recommendations? Since we are spending the weekend, a place on the beach would be great! Also good places to eat, and things to do if it is too cold to walk or sit on the beach! My son is interested in the film program. Thanks!</p>
<p>The weather in Wilmington has been really good the past few weeks. The beach is still a bit cold, but it should warm up by Easter. Wrightsville Beach may be packed during that time of year, but i’d recommend going out and enjoying the beach anyway. The Hilton Riverside hotel is great place to stay. It’s close to downtown which has a lot of historic attractions, and activities. </p>
<p>As for food, La Costa is a great inexpensive Mexican restaurant. There’s also Indochine, which is an awesome place for Asian cuisine. Mellow Mushroom is also a great pizza place. Those are just some of my favorites, but there’s a lot of good places to eat. </p>
<p>I’d also recommend going to see the Azalea festival during that time, if its still going on. Since you’re son is interested in films, then touring the Screen Gems studio might be a good experience. </p>
<p>Wilmington isn’t a huge city, but there’s lots of things to do, and its very beautiful, especially in the spring. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Thanks! I will check those suggestions out.</p>
