Carolina Beach Visit Guide
Every summer and a few times throughout the year, I love going down to Carolina/Wrightsville/Kure beach. It’s been my primary vacation spot for my whole life, and I have so many great memories there. Pleasure Island is gritty and exciting, always full of happy places and friendly businesses. It’s family-friendly, but there is also a big party atmosphere for adults and college students— conviniently so, seeing as the University of North Carolina Wilmington is just a half hour away. Carolina Beach is always worth the money and is a fantastic place to get away with some friends, or even just by yourself. There are a myriad of cool places to stay, from hotels to privately-owned beachfront condos or even full-fledged houses. Here are some places I visited (mostly restaurants) and suggestions for your visit!
