(There’s also meeting and event space for special groups.) Nicely close to a wealth of regional attractions as well, like the Johnnie Mercer Pier, and Wilmington’s Arlie Gardens and other historic sites, guests will certainly find no shortage of things to do. With lots of offer visitors of all ages, the Shell Island Resort is a prime destination for endless fun in the sun.
