Is this like any other forum where people try to steer people to the neighborhood they are selling in and away from others? How in the heck can there be much difference between Kure and Carolina Beaches because of Freeman Park? It is so close to Kure you need a sign to let you know when you have passed from one to the other? Oh so because Carolina Beach has the best Chowder in America there is a big advantage to Carolina Beach? Wait how much longer is the drive to Michael's from Kure? Once you cross over the bridge you are over the bridge. Go to the beach you want and shop where you want. If you are buying a house ON the beach look to your left and to your right. They are all public beaches and people coming from off Paradise Island are probably going to go where they can find parking. To me you either do or don't like the island. How long is the drive and distance from the bridge to Fort Fisher and the beach there?

let's say i'm a fat redneck from 2 hours away, with 6 kids and a confederate flag mounted 10 feet in the air on my bronco, and i'm headed to freeman park to go pound natural lights and raise hell. i'd have to drive south into the middle of Carolina Beach, take a left, and then head back north. i'd never even see kure beach.

carolina beach has issues that can be fixed. the problem that can't be fixed, the original problem IMO, is its ocean water. snow's cut and the mouth of the river both dump a lot of sediment out.

I hope Carolina Beach stays the way it is. I visited it for first time this Summer and me and my
partner said almost Simultaneously we both want to retire there but that 30 something years away.
We moved to Carolina Beach this past Oct. and just love it. Through most of the year there is always something happening and the locals couldn't be nicer.We look forward to spending many years here.
having vacationed there over the years. I was just thinking how could both could improve on things. I see these golf carts running up and down the street. And though. Would it not be great if the built an area for car parking over the bridge or there abouts. You are picked up and shuttled to you place. Then you have this golf cart to zoom around on. Would beat the traffic. Save on parking areas. Would make it more friendly to pedestrians. I know it would never happen. But it would be a pretty cool thing.
I would LOVE to see more golf cart communities as a wave of the future in resort areas. Park the cars at the bridges and everyone only allowed to use a golf cart on the islands... or scooter.
