Carolina Beach State Park Marina, AICW MM 297, Snows Cut, NC
The entrance channel to Carolina Beach State Park marina cuts off southward from the AICW, at the western end of Snows Cut, between markers #163 and #165. Our thanks to Dave Rowe, AboardStinkpot.com, for this review and recommendation.
For the budget conscious boater, or one who loves a natural park setting, Carolina Beach State Park Marina is for you! Miles of wooded trails and one of the only spots on earth to spot a Venus Fly Trap in the wild. $30 flat fee for dockage includes power and water. This is the perfect place to hole up and relax while waiting for a favorable current on the Cape Fear River or Snow’s Cut. Choice of grocery stores and a pharmacy under a mile and a half away.

I second everything in the article. We live nearby. A great resource for local and visiting boaters. Usually has good fuel prices compared to others in the area but check first.
