Get a Head Start on Planning Next Year's Summer Vacation

Though the summer has just ended it's not too early to start thinking about your Pleasure Island beach vacation for Summer 2014! While family and friends are together for the holidays it's a great time to brainstorm, dream about summer days filled with sand and surf, and get a week set aside on the calendar. 

Maybe you'd even like to surprise the family with an amazing holiday gift of a Carolina Beach/Kure Beach vacation for next summer. Think how exciting that would be to find under the tree!

Here are a few steps you can take to get started:

1. Look at the Events
   Would you love to be here for the Carolina Beach Music Festival or the Chowder Cook Off? Check out what's on tap for 2014 to help you pick a date. The full 2014 event calendar hasn't been finalized yet, but dates have been selected for many of the biggest events and festivals.
2. Check out Accommodations
   Looking for a beach house with room for a big crowd? Want a condo with a view of the ocean? How about a hotel with lots of amenities for a low stress vacation? It's all here on Pleasure Island, and when you book early you're likely to find plenty of availability and maybe even some special deals.
3. Make your vacation Wish List.
   Take a look at the great restaurants, shops, and activities you'll find here and start planning which you don't want to miss on your trip. Pleasure Island has been getting a lot of attention in the National media lately - check out which hot spots are becoming famous via our Island Press Board on Pinterest.

And of course there's no need to wait until next Summer to come to Pleasure Island - it's a great place to come for a day, weekend, week, or more - anytime of year! Hope to see you soon!
