People the area for its close proximity to the city of Wilmington and the major employment centers there, the chance to visit Carolina Beach Lake Park, take a stroll on the Carolina Beach boardwalk, which is home to many restaurants, shops, rides and nightlife options, or go biking, hiking or kayaking at Carolina Beach State Park.
