About Carolina Beach State Park
State ownership covers 420 of the 761 acres here in fee simple, with the remaining land leased from the Department of the Army. Sitting on Pleasure Island, the property runs along both the Cape Fear River and Snow's Cut, giving it two distinct waterways bordering its grounds. This mix of owned and leased acreage reflects how the land was assembled before its 1969 establishment.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
