Carolina Beach is a unique resort community with a relaxed atmosphere. It offers a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and attractions (NC State aquarium, Fort Fisher Civil War Memorial, Southport Ferry, etc.) as well as quiet days under the sun. At the Carolina Beach State Park, you can wind your way through trails in search of the rare Venus Flytrap. For the fisher person in the family, there are charter boats for deep-sea fishing, a pier, and lots of surf! At night, there are cruises down the Cape Fear River and dancing under the moonlight. If you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, you can also drive on the North End beach and fish/play on the beach during the day or enjoy a campfire at night.
