Outdoor Activities

Carolina Beach’s long, sandy white beaches and soul-restoring waters are timeless. And priceless too. Sometimes it's hard to remember that nature's greatest playground is free of charge! Another peace of mind comes from knowing that Carolina Beach has a staff of professionally trained Ocean Rescue lifeguards protecting the shores and watching out for safety of swimmers.

Visitors love Carolina Beach, and apparently, so do the fish. Toss a line from the pier, the shore or from one of several chartered and group excursions. Of course, there are other ways to enjoy the water, like boating, kayaking and surfing to mention a few. Transient boaters looking to visit Carolina Beach attractions and restaurants are sure to love the new public day docks - free for up to 3 hours for non-commerical boats 25' and under.

As nice as these are, Carolina Beach’s natural beauty and recreational opportunities stretch well beyond the shore. Our reputation for nature-based tourism grows steadily, as hikers, bikers and campers pass the word about Carolina Beach camping, parks and trails. You’ll also find inland amusements and attractions, as well as fine golf close by.
