Carolina Beach and Sea Colony are located on Pleasure Island in southern North Carolina, close to the historic port city of Wilmington. The uncrowded and quiet beach extends for 7 miles with great surfing, swimming, and fishing for those who love the outdoors. There are two piers on the island, both popular sites for fishing. There are also some wonderful bike rides in the area, where you'll pass civil war sites such as Fort Fisher on your way to catch the ferry to Southport, NC. You'll ride past antebellum homes and bucolic scenery until you arrive in this historic city and visit museums, shops, and many artist studios. Enjoy lunch at one of the many restaurants in Southport before returning home by ferry. Carolina Beach offers multiple culinary delights for every palette, especially for the seafood lover. There are several golf courses nearby, and you could choose to explore historic Wilmington, its battleship, unique architecture, museums, cafes and shops on a rainy day.
