Wilmington Hub

Wilmington and the Cape Fear coast offer a unique coastal driving environment. Beach traffic, bridge crossings to barrier islands, and seasonal tourism create distinct patterns. The historic downtown has narrow streets, while surrounding areas include suburban developments and military influence from Camp Lejeune.

Coastal Carolina driving schools teach beach-area navigation, bridge crossing, and tourist traffic management. The region's popularity as a retirement and vacation destination means diverse driver populations. Hurricane season brings additional preparedness considerations.

NC DMV offices in Wilmington and surrounding areas serve the coastal region.
