Have you ever been squiggled? That is what they do to you when you choose the yummiest ice cream on the island (in my opinion, of course). My favorite combination is banana, praline pecan, and sea salt caramel. They also have a fun gift shop up above.

An inexpensive place for pizza and all things Italian. My favorites: Linguine con Vongole and Mascarpone Limoncello Cake. Their service is slow, though. so don't go here if you're in a hurry.

Very fun, hoppin' (pardon the pun) place. They serve their own beer and a host of other local beers, along with wine and non-alcoholic beverages. There's always something taking place here, such as craft fairs, food truck rodeos, fund-raisers etc. They have a cute little beer garden right next to their disc golf course. This is the main reason we go there.

Neighborhoods

Check out downtown Carolina Beach. It has many little shops, restaurants, bars, music, an amusement park, an arcade, and a wonderful boardwalk with big swings to relax on. On Sundays, we go to the Hampton Inn's Tiki bar on the boardwalk and listen to Mark the "guitar man" play all kinds of oldies but goodies and sip on a drink while watching the ocean waves. There's nothing quite like it.

City/town information

I love to go here to shop at their very unique boutiques and to eat at Fishy Fishy. They also have a very interesting museum that has a section about all the famous films and series that were filmed there.

Downtown Wilmington is a must-see. It has so many fantastic restaurants and bars. We love Caprice Bistro for supper and Kilwins ice cream for dessert. Then we take a nice leisurely walk on the boardwalk and end it with fun and games at the Blue Post Billards.

Restaurants fill up quickly.

So it's a good idea to go earlier if you want to avoid wait time.
Nə götürmək lazımdır

Bring your sunscreen.

The sun is very sneaky here. You don't feel it at all with the nice ocean breeze. Next thing you know, you are very burned and in pain. It has happened too often with my past guests.

The Alabama Beach Access Point is a short walk away.

When you go to the beach, avoid paying for public parking by walking instead.
