Boundless Joy
From early childhood, Carolina beaches have been a vital part of my life. I began visiting Carolina Beach for family beach week (much different in the 1960s than the Carolina Beach of today). Britt’s donuts, still a beloved institution, is a cherished memory.
As teenagers in the 1970s, we would often make a day trip from Raleigh to Atlantic Beach. Emerald Isle became more of a destination in the young adult years, including numerous church group trips.
In the past couple of decades, we have landed at Oak Island, our favorite destination, and the place we bought a vacation home in 2022. The lighthouse, access to both sunrises and sunsets as a southern-facing beach … shops, restaurants and watering holes all provide boundless joy.
