Another Visit to Carolina Beach Mooring Field, Carolina Beach, AICW Statute Mile 295
Just completed in February, 2012, the new Carolina Beach mooring field is located south of Snows Cut, between markers #4 and #5 on the approach channel into Carolina Beach town waterfront. A dinghy dock is now available at the Carolina Beach Municipal Marina in the extreme southwest corner of the harbor.
We just left the Carolina Beach mooring field this morning after spending two nights there. The $20 fee does seem steep to me since it does not include access to showers, restrooms or laundry facilities. For access to showers and restrooms you will need to pay another $5 to Randy the dock master who can grant access to the facilities where his boat is docked. We don’t need access but I think a total of $25 a night for folks who do is a high, especially after Labor Day when not much is open except on weekends. I’d stay there again but only if I really, really wanted to go to the beach.
