Pleasure Island

Home to Carolina Beach and Kure Beach

Pleasure Island is one of the southernmost islands in the Cape Fear region, and is bordered to the north by Snow’s Cut, and to the south by Corncake Inlet. Prior to 1930, when manmade Snow’s Cut was formed, the “island” was actually a peninsula that connected with the northern Cape Fear region along the Cape Fear River, and which was commonly known as Federal Point. The island is bordered to the west by the Cape Fear River and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean.

There are two main beach towns within Pleasure Island – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach​. (A third town – known as Wilmington Beach – was also originally located on the island, but was eventually annexed by the town of Carolina Beach in 2000.) The island can be easily reached by heading south on US 421 from Wilmington / the northern Cape Fear region, which is also the “main drag” that cuts through the island terrain.
