Beach · Hidden Gem · Nature / Park
Experience the white sands and turquoise waters of Carolina Beach. The beachfront stretches far and wide, providing ample room to feel comfortable even when it's busy. Have a barbeque among the shaded picnic pavilions (with grills available to the public). The tranquil waters offer good conditions for kite flying or wind surfing, and parents can rest easy, as lifeguards constantly patrol the area. Several hotels stand nearby, providing numerous services and facilities for fun and entertainment. Be aware that the airport is nearby; you'll be exposed to the noise of planes taking off while lounging on this beach. Before you head to Carolina, plan trip itinerary details with our user-friendly Carolina holiday planner, to make sure you see all that Carolina has to offer, including Carolina Beach.

    VERY suprised at the emptiness of this beach. It seemed as though everything was closed here and no lifeguards. Just a handful of people, yet just down the road the beaches were buzzing.  more »
