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.

The Starlite Inn

The Starlite Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Living in the area for years I was very familiar with the property and now that I’ve moved out of state, when I come back to visit it is definitely going to be a spot I book again. The location cannot be beat, you are literally 200 yards from the ocean. Toni’s right in the middle of places to eat, hang out, and access the boardwalk. The staff is remote (but close) and were able to assist me when I had an issue with my door lock rapidly. Very nice, helpful, and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on in a long time. And the shower supplies smelled amazing."
