Review:
Carolina Beach has kept its classic southern coastal charm over the years. The family-friendly town offers a vintage ocean front boardwalk, miles of sandy beaches and world class fishing. Visit the Carolina Beach State Park to experience the area’s natural beauty. The picturesque white sand trail leads to a view overlooking the Cape Fear River. Walk to the point of the old wooden Carolina Beach Pier to enjoy the view, or cast a fishing line into the water. See the ocean’s creatures up close at the nearby North Carolina Aquarium. Nightlife is popular here, as well as the live music scene. The area is host to North Carolina’s largest beach music festival, the Seafood Blues and Jazz Festival.
