Carolina Beach NC | Driving tour from a local Realtor

Carolina Beach, NC full driving tour with a local realtor. Every part of Pleasure Island: the boardwalk, Canal Drive, Freeman Park, Carolina Beach State Park, Kure Beach, and Fort Fisher, plus what real estate actually costs here in 2026. Part of my Cruising Wilmington Series where I save you a flight and let you hop inside where you get a full driving tour and authentic commentary from a local that lives, works and plays here! I've lived in the Wilmington area for 7 years and sell real estate all over New Hanover County, including homes on this island. This is the tour I'd give you from the passenger seat: where locals eat, where boaters want to live, which end of the island is quiet, and what you should know about flood zones and short-term rentals before you buy. 🚗 CHAPTERS 0:00 Friday night on Pleasure Island 0:40 Meet Gretsch (the '95 F-350) 1:05 Carolina Beach Boardwalk 1:46 Britt's Donuts (since 1939) 3:19 Where the shag dance was born 3:51 Canal Drive: the boater's dream street 4:51 North end pier + Freeman Park (yes, you can drive on the beach) 6:27 Island Burger and other local legends 7:29 Carolina Beach State Park (wild Venus flytraps!) 8:41 Real estate talk: $235K to $3.35M 11:12 Ocean Blvd: single-wides next to million dollar homes 12:11 Kure Beach (it's pronounced CURE-ee) 12:53 Fort Fisher, Civil War history + the NC Aquarium 15:21 Ferry to Southport + sunset 🏠 THINKING ABOUT BUYING ON CAROLINA BEACH? Carolina Beach is a different world than Wrightsville Beach: more affordable, more eclectic, and one of the strongest vacation rental markets on the NC coast. Some areas are in flood zones, so before you fall in love with a property, check the address at flood.nc.gov (I said the site name a little wrong in the video, that's the right one).
