Your local guide to coastal adventures.

ShoreList is Wilmington’s first hyperlocal experience booking platform — built specifically for the Wilmington & the Beaches area. We connect visitors and locals with vetted, locally-owned operators offering everything from ghost tours and surf lessons to kayak tours, film location experiences, and coastal nature walks. Think of us as the Wilmington-only alternative to Viator or GetYourGuide — but with operators you can actually trust and experiences that are genuinely local.

ShoreList is launching soon. Guests on the waitlist get early access and members-only launch offers before the platform opens to the public. Operators are onboarding now — with 4 live and more coming before launch day.

You pay the full price at booking — no surprises, no hidden fees, no second charge later. Secure checkout through Stripe takes under 60 seconds. Your booking is instantly confirmed and the operator is notified. You will never be charged anything beyond the price shown at checkout.

Every ShoreList operator is personally reviewed before going live. We verify their business license, confirm they carry appropriate liability insurance, and require them to sign a formal operator agreement. We only work with operators we’d personally recommend to a friend visiting Wilmington for the first time.

ShoreList covers 18 categories of local coastal experiences: ghost & history tours, surf lessons, film & TV location tours, kayak & paddleboard tours, sunset sails, fishing charters, nature walks (including wild Venus flytraps), e-bike rentals, beach photography, dolphin watch cruises, wine & food experiences, and more. Every category features Wilmington-area operators only — no national chains.

Cancel at least 24 hours before your experience and you receive a full refund, no questions asked. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the experience are non-refundable. Weather-related cancellations — including operator-initiated cancellations due to unsafe conditions — always receive a full refund. All refunds are processed through Stripe and typically appear within 5–10 business days.
