Nightlife
This is by far one of our favorite dive bars. Please note the words; “dive bar” - it’s just that! No suits or fancy cocktails here.
They have a walk in cooler where the have a massive selection of drinks, if which you grab your own. The inside area is small but packed with personality. There is a pretty large outdoor area with various outdoor games and lots of seating.
This really is a must-see in my opinion.
Fun facts: The last time we were there, we saw the actor that plays Walt Jr in Breaking Bad.
Also, Kygo’s ‘Hot Stuff’ music video was filmed here (and Fort Fisher) starring the main characters from the Netflix hit, Outer Banks.

Entertainment
Ahh….the world famous Carolina Beach Boardwalk! Well, I’m not sure about “world” famous - but it definitely is famous in this part of the country.
Here you’ll find food, shopping, a carnival/amusement park (only during high season), an arcade, billiards, live music and bars/nightlife - pretty much anything you could ask for.
