We are vacationing there next week - with friends in an oceanfront house. We have spent time in the area - Carolina Beach, Kure, Wrightsville, Wilmington, etc. - but never actually vacationed there for an extended period of time. So, we are looking for recommendations for restaurants and other things to do...
I'm sure we'll do the aquarium and Ft. Fisher... Are there any decent restaurants on Pleasure Island or are we going to have to drive to Wilmington/Wrightsville?
Also, we are going to have a boat so any recommendations about out-of-the-way beaches we can cruise to or restaurants/bars we can take the boat to would also be welcome - I'm sure we will hit up Dockside, but what else is there? Is the north end of Figure 8 still a popular boat hangout?
