Carolina Beach Lake Park is a family-friendly adventure!

In the heart of Carolina Beach, the 11-acre Carolina Beach Lake is actually noted in the Guinness Book of World Records as being the closest freshwater lake to a major body of saltwater.  Pretty cool fun fact! 

The park has four gazebos, a sheltered picnic area, restrooms, and playground equipment for little ones. An amphitheater is located on-site for summertime concerts or special events.  This is a great spot for running/stroller running as there is a trail that goes around the entire lake and lots of benches for pit stops.

During the season, a paddleboat company provides paddle boat and kayak rentals daily (cost is typically $12 - $22).  Also during summer, a weekly Farmers Market is every Saturday morning and Free Outdoor Movies on Sunday evenings. The lake is also host to the extremely popular Pleasure Island Chowder Cookoff  in April.
