Learn more about Carolina Beach

Beyond the family-friendly boardwalk with its carnival rides and cotton candy, 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.

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent
"We had a family vacation and had 5 rooms. They were all very clean, nice rooms. The views are wonderful from the balconies. We had a corner room on the 6th floor, and we will absolutely be asking for that room again. The lady who cleaned our room was fantastic. We had several children with us, and they tracked some sand in from the beach. She was very kind and cheerful, and cleaned everything up super well. I fully recommend this hotel to anyone traveling or staying in the area."

Oceaneer

10/10 Excellent
"We had no idea what to expect on this trip never having visited Carolina Beach previously. The whole trip was great! The Oceaneer was very nicely remodeled and modernized but had a chic style that wasn’t just another hotel chain property type vibe. The location on the beachfront was excellent and our room was nicely appointed. About the only negatives werr the fact that we didn’t have a microwave in the room and the gym air conditioner was not working and so it was super hot and stuffy in the room. I have to say though that the staff did allow us to leave the door open to let some air circulate in and the equipment itself was too notch for a hotel gym and all functioning appropriately. We will stay again in the future."
