Your Pet Is More Than Welcome on Your Winter Adventure
For many snowbirds heading to North Carolina with pets as important members of their family, the thought of leaving a favorite four-legged friend behind for a season is unbearable. Fortunately, making Carolina Beach your winter destination of choice means you’re more than welcome to include them in the journey. Carolina Beach and Kure Beach alike are both extremely pet-friendly places on the map. A winter getaway here is a chance to spend quality time throwing the tennis ball at places like the Freeman Park Recreation Area. You can also look forward to spending time exploring the sand, where leashed dogs can be on the beach any time of day this time of year. Carolina Beach State Park is a dog-friendly destination for hitting the trails together, while Mike Chappell’s Dog Park is a wonderful area for letting your dog run off-leash for a while.
