Vacationing in Carolina Beach, North Carolina
by Jennifer Weiss
Carolina Beach, located
along the southern tip of North Carolina, rests peacefully along the
shore of the Atlantic Ocean. While its prime location near the water
allows for numerous beach and water activities, this city has a lot more
to offer than the typical oceanfront town. Journey to Carolina Beach for
a relaxing weekend or a weeklong respite, and you will never want to
leave the beauty and tranquility that surround you.
With the Atlantic Ocean
comes a multitude of exciting water sports and activities that are
waiting for you at the marina. One always popular activity is deep-sea
fishing aboard a charter boat for dolphin, tuna, wahoo, king mackerel,
marlin, Spanish mackerel, and sailfish. Head down to the Municipal docks
and seek out Blue Marlin Fishing Charters, who specialize in tuna
fishing, for a memorable adventure with your family and the helpful
guidance of their experienced captain.
To be in complete control of
your Carolina Beach excursions, make your way to the Municipal Marina
for a kayak or boat rental. You can explore those areas that interest
you and make your way ashore when you need a break from the sun or a
quick snack. Take the family waterskiing, wakeboarding, or simply
cruising along the water and enjoy those activities that excite you. If
you prefer less strenuous activities but still want to be on the water,
consider a relaxing boat cruise through the Carolina waterway. Sit back
and listen to the quiet, soothing music playing the background as you
glide along, taking in the sights of the beautiful coastline.
One of the best places to
venture for an amazing swimming experience is the Fort Fisher State
Recreation Area, located on Pleasure Island. You can wander the beach in
search of shells and make your way into the cool, refreshing water at
your own leisure. There is also the possibility of discerning some of
the coastal wildlife, including endangered species such as the
loggerhead sea turtle.
When you want to stroll the
mainland, Carolina Beach offers one of the few remaining boardwalks on
the east coast. Filled with boutique shops, nightclubs, restaurants, and
live entertainment venues, this waterfront district between Harper
Avenue and Cape Fear Boulevard is the place to go when you are looking
for daytime or nighttime pursuits. To explore this area and the
surrounding beachfront, try a bicycle rental for one or several people
and cruise around at a leisurely pace as you enjoy the commotion and
breathtaking views.
To explore off the beaten
path, make your way to Carolina Beach State Park, which is a perpetual
coastal attraction for visitors to the area. There are miles of trails
available for those who want to observe the distinct habitats that wind
their way through the park, but keep an eye out for the carnivorous
Venus flytrap since this plant calls the park home. To learn more about
the environment and ecology of this area, stop by the visitor's center
before you embark to see the exhibits about this wondrous park.
