It’s technically winter, but that’s not the feeling you get when you walk out the door in a t-shirt and shorts, with the sun shining on a beautiful 70 degree day. So what is there to do on the coast when you want to be outside enjoying the beautiful weather while it’s still a little too chilly to hit the beach? Head to the State Park! Oh, wait, you didn’t realize that there was a State Park around here? There is!
Carolina Beach State Park is located just past Snows Cut Bridge at Carolina Beach. It contains over 700 acres of beautiful untouched land with more than five miles of hiking trails. The trails wind along beautiful beaches along the water, up hills and through the pine needles, and along rare Venus fly traps and other species of plants. Gather up the kids and the dogs and head down for a day of fun and free adventure at Carolina Beach State Park, if you’re a fan of the great outdoors you won’t be disappointed.
