THIS IS NO ORDINARY BEACH
It's An Extraordinary One
Located at the northern end of Pleasure Island, Carolina Beach is a family-friendly, extraordinary beach town that’s curiously entertaining! An original beachside boardwalk, a state park, colorful characters, miles of alluring beach, world-class fishing, and interesting one-of-a kind events and festivals, all set Carolina Beach apart from the ordinary.
