Great place to hide from bad weather for the price. Really nice new docks w plenty of cleats. Larry, the dock manager is just a nice guy. Great beaches close by and a lot of good restaurant choices. Will be back!

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.

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.

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!

Thanks for your nice comments Davidby Allison C. - Verified user on May 05, 2026
Best mooring ball design ever. They are tall, long line, and have a “hat.” You drop your line in the hat so it dries out. If you miss…staff comes by later to put it. Larry was very helpful when talking on phone. Publix and Boardwalk are both short walks.

Very nice spot. People are friendly and ready to assist. Very responsive to reservation requests and changes.
