From the
beach to the boardwalk and everything in between, Pleasure Island is
already a family vacation destination. Now that the season is
changing and the rates are lower, it’s the perfect time for a
girl’s weekend get-away. With spas, shopping, sight-seeing, and
dining experiences extraordinaire, Pleasure Island offers a weekend
full of girl time adventures.
Get things
started on Friday night at Island
Beverage in Carolina Beach with an eclectic wine or beer in a
fun, friendly atmosphere. Rumor has it they have an unmatched selection of craft beers and unique wines you won’t find anywhere else on the
island. Don’t stay out too late because you’ve got a full day
ahead of you.
On Saturday
morning, head over to Wake
and Bake Donuts for some starchy goodness to get you energized.
Try one of their classics like a glazed or cream filled donut, or go
all in with their gold standard Wake n Bacon, Twisted Turtle, or
Purple Rain specialties. Once you’re out and about, wash those
donuts down with an award winning organic espresso from Island
Roast Coffee.
Who doesn’t
like art—especially when much of it is from local and North
Carolina artists. You and your girlfriends will enjoy browsing all
that Artful Living Group
has to offer, like amazing fine visual art, hand crafted jewelry,
pottery, and handmade soaps and beauty products. It’s the perfect
place to start your holiday gift shopping.
Next, head
to Touché
boutique for some more shopping. They have a wide selection of
fashion forward women’s apparel, shoes, handbags, hats, and
jewelry, and other fabulous gifts. In addition to their new arrivals,
check out their clearance room, where new merchandise is frequently
added.
When you’re
ready to wind down and be pampered, make an appointment at Island
Massage and Spa where you and your pals can experience a full
menu of massages and body treatments like a Marine Algae Body Wrap.
If you’re feeling the need for some mental and spiritual uplifting,
try their amazing Reiki healing service. They’re Infrared Sauna
Therapy for detoxifying and renewal is hard to beat.
If you’ve
worked up an appetite, Havana’s
Fresh Island Restaurant has a wonderful brunch and lunch menu.
They offer fresh seafood, hand cut steaks, scratch made pasta dishes,
and so many more delicious dishes. In addition to their indoor
seating, Havana’s has three outdoor dining areas for great views
and people watching.
After a day
of shopping, pampering, and eating, spend the evening with your
friends at Sip and Paint
Carolina Beach showing off your creative talents by painting your
very own whimsical beachy artwork. Oh, and you can bring wine!
