Carolina Beach offers a beach experience that makes visitors nostalgic for the North Carolina beach vacation of the past. This beach features a vintage boardwalk with live music, great fishing, and several events throughout the year. The boardwalk contains several restaurants, an ice cream store, and more.
Rides and games are also set up along the boardwalk’s strip during the summer and the arcade and gift shops are open all year round. The nearby Carolina Beach State Park is a 761-acre park located along the Cape Fear River. The park’s amenities include miles of hiking trails, campsites, and a marina. The visitor center displays exhibits related to local and state natural history. Rare carnivorous plants like the Venus flytrap can be found in the park’s wetlands.
