Natural Escapes
For anyone sheltering on the island, Carolina Beach offers a variety of outdoor oases for you to explore. Take in scenic views, soak up the sunshine and reconnect with nature during this perfect time to experience the great outdoors.
Walk or cycle along the new Island Greenway, a paved path winding around Carolina Beach, or head to Carolina Beach Lake Park to get your steps in with a walk or bike ride along the path surrounding the lake.
Take a historic hike to the top of the 50-foot Sugarloaf Dune at Carolina Beach State Park, where more than 5,000 troops camped during the Civil War. Hikers can take Sugarloaf Trail to the dune to experience coastal evergreen forest, coastal fringe sandhill forest, tidal cypress-gum swamp and longleaf pine savanna.
Home to 13 different habitats amongst its 761 acres, Carolina Beach State Park offers plenty of wide-open space for you to explore. Set out along the half-mile Flytrap Trail to catch a glimpse of the rare Venus Flytraps that only grow natively within a 60-mile radius of Carolina Beach.
