Pleasure Island, N.C. Chosen As Summer Travel Destination by The New York Times


Pleasure Island, N.C. was included in The New York Times Sunday edition Travel section as a prime summer destination for a weekend getaway.

In the article titled "One Summer, 14 Weekends," writer Dave Caldwell determined that there are 14 weekends this year between Memorial Day and Labor Day and he laid out a plan to travel to an ideal summer getaway during each weekend.

Pleasure Island, N.C. was his chosen destination for the weekend of June 20-21. In the article, Caldwell writes:
"...you can tackle the area by hiking in Carolina Beach State Park (910-458-8206), home to the carnivorous Venus’ flytraps. Or you can rent a surfboard or body board at SandBarz Surf and Skate Shop on the Boardwalk in Carolina Beach."
In addition to our Pleasure Island Chamber members:
Caldwell also mentions Chamber members:

While we know and understand the beauty and value of Pleasure Island, it is exciting to be promoted by The New York Times as an ideal summer destination. If you haven't been here before, give us a weekend and try us out! What's Your Pleasure?

Now - if only Mr. Caldwell had picked Pleasure Island, N.C. as a destination for the weekend of June 6th, he could have enjoyed our famous Beach Music Festival. Maybe next year!

But it's not too late for you - Buy your tickets today!
