North Pier Ocean Villas enjoys a quiet location on the outskirts of Carolina Beach's main tourism center. The resort features a large rock breakwater that protects a small beach area from the surf. There is a marina about two miles from the resort to take care of any equipment needs. In nearby Wilmington, you'll feel the ambience of the Old South as you tour antebellum homes. A summertime favorite is The Boardwalk and Jubilee Park, which offers amusement rides, miniature golf, and a water slide.
