Wilmington, North Carolina, is sandwiched between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Cape Fear River making it a popular destination for those who love water sports. There are opportunities in abundance for enjoying boating, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, stand up paddleboarding, and more. It also affords buyers plenty of opportunities to own waterfront property.

Below, you will find all waterfront home listings in Wilmington, including Intracoastal front, sound front, marsh front, creek front, ocean front, etc. If you’re only looking for a view, there’s also lakefront and pond front listings, or if you just want a place to kayak, some of the master planned communities have canal front homes and kayak launches. You can narrow your search by price, # bedrooms, # baths, etc.

Some of these properties may or may not come with boat slips. Higher end homes frequently include private docks or piers, but, depending on location, some communities are restricted to marinas and assigned boat slips.
