Learn more about Carolina Beach

Beyond the family-friendly boardwalk with its carnival rides and candy floss, 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.

10/10 Excellent
"THE location! Central to the boardwalk, beach and restaurants. Carolina market deli is literally at the backyard. The ability to walk anywhere is a plus. The block wall construction keeps the noise out. The hotel shows its age but is maintained. The bed is a futon style mattress on a platform and provides sufficient comfort and ease climbing in and out. The shower is dated ( as always bring flip flops ) The water pressure is strong. The room needed a matched blind as the security lights on the porch were far more evident on one half of the window at night. The window style a/c is more than adequate and kept the room very cool but was a little noisy. Perhaps a newer version is built with the sound level in mind but not a deal breaker. All in all we were pleasantly surprised and felt the value in this room far outweighed any negatives."
