AREA ATTRACTIONS:
Carolina Beach is a ideal family-friendly OR charming hideaway with a variety of attractions to keep everybody entertained. Guests can walk along the lively Carolina Beach boardwalk with its rides, games and local stores and eateries OR discover the nature at Carolina Beach State Park which is home to hiking trails replete with Venus Fly Traps. On the island you can also experience the North Carolina Aquarium, tour the Civil War era Fort Fisher, you can fish either aboard a chartered boat or off the pier or beach, rent jet skis and ski along the Intercoastal Waterway, rent coaster bicycles or ebikes and ride along the handsome greenway on the island, take private surf lessons from a former World Surf Champion, take the car ferry from the south end of our island to Southport—a modest village that has deep roots in fishing and has a cozy walkable downtown with fun stores and eateries. Across the bridge in the Wilmington area you can tour the USS North Carolina battleship, a horse drawn trolley historic tour that is a MUST DO, visit the Train Museum, tour the Civil War era Bellamy Mansion, ride the sizable water wheel boat for a tour of the Cape Fear river, tour the Latimer House, walk the historic downtown area with beautiful homes from as early as the 1700s and cobblestone/brick streets, visit the Cape Fear Museum, and the downtown has great shopping and spectacular eateries. The eateries in Wilmington will rival any enormous city and we are the home of numerous Top Chef, Iron Chef, James Beard and Michelin Star nominees/winners. The stores in the walkable downtown are a must do for anyone who has the “shopping bug”. You can also catch a Broadway show or savor a awesome concert at the many venues in Wilmington. So much to see/do, but it is all in the CODtage binder supplied to assist you in mapping out your activities/dining/fun during your stay—the binder is like your own personal concierge!
