Learn more about Carolina Beach

Beyond the family-friendly boardwalk with its carnival rides and cotton candy, Carolina Beach offers a perfect blend of nostalgic seaside fun and natural wonders. Catch waves at dawn when locals claim the surf is sweetest, or cast a line from the fishing pier where regulars share tales taller than their catches. The state park hides a botanical marvel – wild Venus flytraps that snap at insects with prehistoric precision. Freeman Park's less crowded shores provide respite from boardwalk energy, while summer evenings bring beach music that turns strangers into dance partners. Fort Fisher in nearby Kure Beach offers Civil War history with ocean views. Don't miss the fresh seafood shacks where hushpuppies arrive hot enough to juggle.

"The property was excellent the location was awesome. Beautiful views out on the balcony. The only thing that would have made the trip better, is that the sliding door didn't have a screen, so we weren't able to leave the door open at night and listen to the ocean. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and definitely will be back!"
