Great for kids
"A stroll on the Carolina Beach Boardwalk features classic seaside family fun with shops, restaurants and nightlife entertainment. During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, laughter and the squeals of kids of all ages as they whoosh and whirl past on the assortment of rides at the seaside amusement park and at extraordinary events like the weekly fireworks and concert series. Annual off-season events that include Boardwalk activities are Christmas by the Sea and the Island of Lights Festival. One of the last remaining beach boardwalks on the East Coast, you can get your fill of famous homemade donuts, ice cream, and fudge, play in the arcade, see the ocean from the Ferris wheel, or dance the night away to live music."

Great place for swimming and fishing. But, further away, parking is limited and pricey. Virtually always open, (with the exception of a hurricane closing or two), the pier is one of the best spots on Wrightsville Beach to reel in the big one, get those lines wet, or just relax and enjoy an unparalleled view of the endless Atlantic Ocean landscape.
