Down the beach there's a Pier you can walk to for a better view of the ocean. Nearby are a few Restaurants and Bars that you can stop at: Bud & Joe's SandBar Jack Mackerel's Island Grill Beach House Burgers Ocean View Restaurant
If your a history buff, just a 9 minute drive south of us is Fort Fisher which you'll find a monument, old Bunker, and an aquarium, all along a rocky shore.
Island Burgers & Bites is one of our favorite "hole in the wall" burger joints, they used to be inside of a gas station and just recently opened their own place. Highest recommendations, you will not be disappointed.
If your looking for a phenomenal burger and brews, one of our favorites is Mess Hall.
The closest brewery if you'd like to stay within Carolina Beach.
Located in Wilmington, Flying Machine Brewing offers a great selection of beers with a great outdoor area near a pond and walking path. Typically a food truck on site as well.
Waterman's Brewing is also one of our favorite spots. They serve food, but their beer selection is diverse. Great outdoor seating as well.
This "dive bar" is such a fun experience. There are roughly 10 chairs inside and on Monday's they have free tacos (from a crockpot).
