This is a nice marina and very close to everything. Larry and Jarrett were very helpful with dock line and info about the town and places to go.

What an amazing find. Such a great location and right in the heart of everything and 500 feet from the beach. Great docks and staff. My only hesitation is not wanting other boaters to find this gem! I ended up staying an extra night it was so amazing.

The location is convenient since it’s a short walk to restaurants and convenience stores as well as the boardwalk and beach. The floating docks are in good shape. Having AC was our primary goal and the power was reliable so that was a win. However, there are no showers and the bathrooms are automatically locked from 10 p.m. until 8 a.m. and the code we were given to open them during those times did not work. There is no fuel but we didn’t expect that and we didn’t take notice of the water availability.

Great stay! Dockmaster Wayne takes care of everything. New floating docks, location is in walking distance to resturants and the CB boardwalk. Lively nightlife all around - so don't stay here if you want solitude. Morning walks on the beach was a plus.

It’s super easy to slip in and snag a mooring. The balls and pendants are in excellent condition. We only had time to stay one night this time but plan to stay longer on the trip back south!

Good mooring, great dingy docks, close to town and beach. We have 2 dogs and this was perfect for shore and beach access.

The mooring pennants were so easy to grab in the spicy winds. The stainless steel eye was free from barnacles and debris. Great area ti investigate with the dinghy too.

wonderful moorings and land facilities. Close to Publix and many restaurants and beach. We've visited Carolina beach for many years and will continue so.

Best mooring field ground tackle ever. Larry is great. Will help you with anything you need.

Carolina Beach makes it easy! Got a mooring for 2 nights after an ocean passage. Nice dinghy docks both at the mooring field and at the city docks. Would like to see better bathhouse facilities, but a wonderful place to stop!

The folks were extremely accommodating as our plans changed due to weather. The moorings were clean and appeared to be able to withstand gale force winds. The spacing between moorings was excellent. We never felt we were at risk of swinging into other boats. The communication with the folks at Carolina Beach was excellent and we will return! Larry the Harbormaster is great and kind.

Very friendly and accommodating!
by Jack C. - Verified user on May 11, 2026
One of our favorite places to moor.
The balls are clean and easy to hook, it's quiet and the water is beautiful.
On top of that, harbor master Larry Denning is very helpful and welcoming.
Will definitely be back!
