Cardinal Lanes Beach Bowl

Cardinal Lanes Beach Bowl is an expansive bowling center where amateurs and pros alike can test their skills in a fun and family-friendly environment. Perfect for afternoon or evening games, as well as private parties and celebrations, this accommodating bowling alley is a great destination for Wilmington visitors who are looking for something to do on the occasional rainy day.

Cardinal Lanes is located northeast of the center of Wilmington, along US Highway 17, which makes it a convenient entertainment destination for vacationers staying in Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, and the northern areas of Figure Eight Island and Hampstead. There are 24 lanes which provides plenty of elbow room, and the interior of the alley is painted in a distinctively coastal motif, with blue waves, tropical fish, and palm trees setting the scene for a fun game or two. Cardinal Lanes Beach Bowl also features a snack bar with sodas as well as draft and bottled beers, as well as a large range of eats including nachos, French fries, pizza rolls, burgers, hot dogs, and even breakfast sandwiches. With a nice pro shop on-site that’s stocked with equipment, and lots of daily specials for bowlers of all ages, Cardinal Lanes Beach Bowl will be a favorite and budget-friendly spot for a crowd-pleasing morning, afternoon or evening of fun.
