Welcome to
Your Island Paradise
Cross Snow’s Cut Bridge onto Pleasure Island and breathe a
sigh of relief. You’re in paradise! Slip back to a simpler, safer
place in time as you sun and swim along beautiful, sandy,
unspoiled
beaches... and
immerse yourself
in the small village
friendliness of
Pleasure Island.
Pleasure Island is
located in
southeastern North
Carolina, nestled
between the
PETER DORAN
Atlantic Ocean, the
Cape Fear River and the Intracoastal Waterway. It provides yearround pleasant weather and warm waters, making it the perfect
year-round spot to enjoy sun, sea and island breezes. Just
minutes from historic Wilmington and Southport and Myrtle
Beach’s world-famous golf resorts and the Grand Strand,
Pleasure Island is the heart of coastal resort fun-in-the-sun.
With Carolina Beach to the north, Kure Beach in the middle and
historic Fort Fisher to the south, the Island offers over seven
miles of wide, uncrowded beaches and safe, warm
ocean waters, all protected by USLA-trained lifeguards, for
swimming, sailing, surfing, kite and board surfing and
numerous other water sports. In addition, the salt marshes
and estuaries of the famous Cape Fear River and Intracoastal
Waterway allow for kayaking and small boating where you
can visit the many barrier islands that dot the Carolina coast.
You’ll be delighted to find some of the finest and most
affordable ocean view lodging values on the East Coast,
including excellent hotels, motels, cottages, condos and plush,
beautiful beach homes right out of Architectural Digest.
Restaurants abound for every taste and budget and you can
savor freshly caught seafood, sample international cuisine,
Carolina barbecue or enjoy one of our excellent family
restaurants. And best of all, you can expect reasonable
prices wherever you go.
Pleasure Island, known as an angler’s paradise, offers excellent
pier, surf and deep-sea fishing, as well as fresh water fishing in
the Cape Fear River and estuaries. You can catch Tuna, Bass,
Mackerel, Spot, Flounder, Snappers and a wide variety of game
fish. We have one of the last sections of beach on the East
Coast where if you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle and a permit,
2
you may drive right on secluded sections of beach for hours of
great surf fishing, swimming or sun bathing.
When you need a break from the sun, take the family to the
93,000 square foot North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.
The kids will love the special programs and history buffs be
sure to visit the Fort Fisher Civil War Museum and Battlefield,
where you can walk over one of the largest earthwork
fortifications of the South and the last major stronghold
of the Confederacy.
Afterwards, take “the best $5 scenic cruise you’ll ever see”, a
35-minute ferry ride across the Cape Fear River to the quaint,
riverfront town of Southport. Have lunch at one of several
wonderful restaurants and while you’re there, be sure to visit
the Maritime Museum.
And for the Eco-tourist, camper or boater, Pleasure Island is
home to two of North Carolina’s most beautiful state parks.
Carolina Beach State Park has it’s own deep water marina with
boat ramps located on the Cape Fear River just off the
Intracoastal Waterway. You can hike through the beautiful Sea
pines, kayak, fish or just laze about, but be sure to look for
the famous Venus Flytraps growing naturally in the park.
For day-trippers, enjoy a horse drawn carriage ride through
the historic cobble-stoned streets of Wilmington. Tour the
beautiful River walk and ante-bellum mansions and enjoy the
fine shops and restaurants. Visit the restored USS Battleship
North Carolina
with its WWII
reenactments
and many
fascinating
museums. And
just a few
miles outside
of the city
you’ll find the
world famous
Airlie Gardens
PETER DORAN
with hundreds
of live Oaks and other indigenous Spanish moss-lined trees.
Golfers, you’ll have your choice of numerous beautiful and
challenging golf courses within minutes of Pleasure Island and
at day’s end, come back to Pleasure Island and relax as you
view the glorious sunset over the Cape Fear or the sunrise
over the Atlantic.
D I R E C T I O N S
To reach Pleasure Island from I-95, take I-40 east to State Route 421
at Wilmington. Then follow Route 421 (a four lane, divided highway)
through Wilmington to our Island. Yes, the name is Pleasure Island
and the name says it all! Make Pleasure Island your own personal
paradise this year and enjoy the vacation of a lifetime.
But be prepared, you won’t want to leave!

Carolina Beach
Every vacation pleasure you could hope for is waiting for you
at Carolina Beach. Located at the north end of Pleasure Island,
our town of about 6,000 friendly residents has a quaint vintage
feel sure to
transport you
back to your
childhood
days at the
beach.
In addition to
miles of
wide, clean
PAUL BOROZNOFF
beaches, we
offer oceanfront and ocean view
accommodations ranging from
inexpensive, well maintained 1950’s
era motels and cottages to upscale
beach homes, condos and hotels.
Likewise, we have several very good
family restaurants. You’ll love the vintage decor and prices of
our local restaurants dating back to our early days. Of course,
no trip to Carolina Beach is complete without a visit to the
famous Boardwalk where you can grab one of our renowned
Britt’s donuts, a cold glass of milk or a tasty cup of coffee, head
for the beach and watch the day come alive.
PAUL BOROZNOFF
After a day of fun on the beach, enjoy a stroll around our
quaint town center. Check out numerous jewelry, local art,
and clothing shops; then meander by the Municipal Docks
to watch the fishing boats unloading the day’s catch.
Anglers, the fishing is great here! Fish on the beach, from the
pier, catch a head boat, charter
your own deep-sea fishing boat,
or launch your own at our public
launch facilities.
Amusements!! Carnival!! Fun!!
Ferris wheels and brightly-lit
amusements along with the
Midway, miniature golf, batting
cages and arcades; plus boat,
kayak, surfboard and bicycle
rentals are right here in the town center.
PAUL BOROZNOFF
Never fear – we don’t roll up the sidewalks at dusk! Every
night you can board a large party boat to tour the Cape Fear
River, dancing and dining under the stars. Also, local
restaurants regularly offer live music, DJ’s and karaoke.
Remember, we’re the true home to Carolina “Beach Shagging.”
Yes, Carolina Beach has it all- just the right mix of peace and
quiet and fun activities for all the family. Enjoy our quaint but
lively beach town— you’ll never have a dull moment!

Kure Beach
Kure (Cur-ee) Beach is Carolina Beach’s beautiful, relaxed and
friendly neighbor to the south. The town was established in
1870 with Hans Anderson’s arrival from Denmark. It now has
approximately 2,500 yearround residents. Many of
our guests come back year
after year to be welcomed
with the old fashioned
Southern hospitality of
PETER DORAN
Kure Beach.
We are mostly a
residential
community,
dotted with many
fine oceanfront
and ocean view
motels, condos
and cottages to
PAUL BOROZNOFF
suit all tastes
and budgets, including many luxurious beach homes.
Of course, our beach is wide, open and unspoiled; with all the
elbowroom you could want for sunbathing, strolling, shelling,
surfing or fishing. Our town is an angler’s Mecca, with annual
fishing tournaments, one of the best fishing piers (over 711
feet long) on the East Coast, bountiful surf fishing and free
boat launches nearby. At our small town center, you’ll find the
pier, several excellent restaurants, a convenience store and
amusements for the kids. You can walk to “town” or bike on a
bike path from most of the accommodations in Kure Beach.
If you’re looking for quiet, breath taking Blue Ocean and open
beaches just a short drive from all the conveniences, Kure
Beach is the place for you. We welcome you to come and
vacation in our small corner of Paradise.
Fort Fisher
Fort Fisher, located on the southern expanse of Pleasure
Island, allows you to step back in time at the Fort Fisher Civil
War Museum and discover the amazing world of the sea at the
North Carolina
Aquarium, all in one
day. You’ll also find
the Fort Fisher State
Recreation Site here,
with four miles of
undeveloped beach
to explore at your
disposal.

ACTIVITIES
Fishing and Boating
If fishing is your game, you’ll never be disappointed when you
cast your line in the waters around Pleasure Island. The
convergence of the Cape Fear River, Intracoastal Waterway
and the Atlantic Ocean assure you of a great catch whether
surf, deep sea or pier fishing.
PAUL BOROZNOFF
The Carolina Beach Municipal Harbor, with one of the largest
recreational fishing fleets north of Florida, is the Island’s
boating hub. Charter boats (up to six people) and head boats
(up to 150 people) return each day with fish laden anglers
proudly displaying the day’s catch. All of the boats provide
bait, poles and tackle or you
can bring your own.
Surf and pier fishing yields
are excellent March through
November. Both Carolina
Beach and Kure Beach boast
excellent piers. Kure’s
PETER DORAN
711-foot pier is thought by
many anglers to be the best
on the East Coast. And we
host many fishing
tournaments each year with
substantial purses and modest
entry fees. The most widely
known is the Got-Em-On-Live
King Mackerel Classic held in
July each year.
We have three free public boat launches as well as boat rentals
ranging from kayaks to power and small sailboats. And last,
