Carolina Beach
Carolina Beach Review
Carolina Beach, a town established in 1857, has an old-fashioned boardwalk undergoing revitalization. A semi-open arcade features vintage games, and a doughnut shop still fries its rounds daily. Bars and marinas line a central business district. Its popularity with young people once earned it the nickname "Pleasure Island," but affluent families snapping up waterfront property are changing the demographics. Fishing is a major activity, and anglers can test their skill on the pier, in the surf, and on deep-sea charter excursions. You can also take a nightly party cruise.
