An old-fashioned Boardwalk with a Ferris wheel and amusement rides. Fireworks on the beach every Thursday. Free live music on Fridays. Lake Park, with a Saturday Farmers’ Market and complimentary outdoor movies on Sundays. All within one mile of this beach hideaway. The Island Greenway, a 1.2-mile cycling/walking path is a block from the home. Another block over is Mike Chappell Park, with tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, a skate park, and playground. A short drive away, visit the NC Aquarium, Ft. Fisher, Carolina Beach State Park, and the Kure Beach Pier for fishing and sightseeing.
