Myrtle Grove is in the Masonboro Sound
Part of the Masonboro Sound Area of Wilmington, Myrtle Grove is a census-designated place of close to 11,500 residents, according to the 2020 U.S. Census. The intersection of College Road and Carolina Beach Road appears as Myrtle Grove Junction on a map but is locally known as Monkey Junction. The name comes from the pet monkeys kept by the owners of a gas station in the late 1930s to the mid-70s. “When people would take trips to Fort Fisher, they’d stop and say, ‘let’s go to the gas station where the monkeys are,’” says Jan Roggeman, a Realtor with 1st Class Real Estate Coastal Choice who has lived in Wilmington for 10 years.
Intracoastal Waterway has many homes with docks on the water.

Between two Wilmington beaches
Myrtle Grove is between Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach, which locals say has two very different vibes. “Wrightsville Beach is a barrier island,” Roggeman says. “It’s about 4 miles long of just tip to tip. It’s a smaller beach, but it’s a packed beach.” Masonboro Island isn’t accessible by car; it is only accessible by boat. If Myrtle Grove residents don’t have a private boat ramp, they can find public ones near the beaches. Taking a ferry is another option. Hanover Pines Nature Park is a passive park with minimal development. Pet owners can use the dog park or walk along the roughly 1-mile trail.
Locals can enjoy a fun day at Wrightsville Beach.

Shopping and dining in Monkey Junction
The Myrtle Grove area of Wilmington is known for its shopping and dining options, including pubs, grocery stores and major retailers. They tend to be along Carolina Beach Road, away from the more residential sections of Myrtle Grove. Some businesses, like Junction 421, are named after Monkey Junction, such as Celtic Monkey Irish Pub. “There aren’t a lot of industries and job opportunities here,” Roggeman says. “Wilmington is a very entrepreneurial spot with a lot of mom-and-pop shops and people who are self-employed.”
You can enjoy a meal and your favorite drink at the Celtic Monkey Irish Pub and Grill.
You can pick up a good book to read at the beach near Intracoastal Waterway.

Biking on the Masonboro Loop
U.S. Route 421, also known as Carolina Beach Road, is one of the busiest thoroughfares in Wilmington and makes up Myrtle Grove’s western border. Masonboro Loop Road is a bike and pedestrian-friendly way to get to the area. “You’ll come down the Main Road, Masonboro Loop Road, into Myrtle Grove, and it will bring you all the way down, running parallel with Masonboro Island,” Roggeman says. Wilmington International Airport is about 12 miles away on U.S. Route 421 South. Wave Transit buses stop in the Monkey Junction area.
Bus service runs along Carolina Beach road in the Wood Duck neighborhood.
The Cape Fear river and Intracoastal Waterway are just minutes away from the Woods Edge.
