Great mooring field, close to dinghy dock for beach access and going into town. Enjoyed our two night stay to avoid the traffic on the ICW during the weekend. Friendly and informative Harbourmaster and easy to make a reservation on Dockwa!
Nice place and very good service. We’re very pleased with the Marina and are planning to be back in town for a longer stay when we head down south again.
Thanks to a great Harbormaster who walked us through reserving a mooring ball. We stayed another night in a lovely peaceful spot adjacent to city free dinghy dock.
Easy process to reserve on dockwa, clear navigation instructions, beautiful mooring field & well maintained mooring balls. We'll be back!
Randy was great. He helped me get set up on Dockwa. He called me once he received the reservation. He gave me Ball 1. About 200 ft from the dingy dock. He also introduced himself to us at the dinghy dock. We loved our stay and the Mooring field Dock Mast.
Larry was great to deal with. Perfectly protected harbor for safe passage up the ICW.
We recently stayed on a mooring ball for 3 days. Felt secure and comfortable during 40+ knots of wind and rain. We will definitely make this a regular stop. Laurie O’Shea Sv Kismet
It used to be an anchorage. There is a dinghy dock. I planned to go ashore, have a night out, and reprovision. If I have to pay for a mooring I won’t spend any money in your town. Next time I will stop somewhere else.
Easy to catch a mooring ball. Close to dinghy Dock. Easy walk to the boardwalk. Could watch fireworks from the bow of our boat.
Moorings have some type of sign on top, this sign scratched my boat on the port side as we had wind against current. I cannot recommend this mooring field to anyone.
What a great convenient place to tie up. Just off ICW, well protected from the elements, nice breezes (didn't need the A/C last night), dingy access to restaurants...quiet too.
Great stop-over mooring with close access to Carolina Beach activities. As others have experienced, we were the only boat in the mooring field. Very easy to book and pay now with DockWa. City marina and docks (including dinghy dock) at south end of basin on the edge of the commercial district are being re-built and should be done in the very near future but were not available at this time. There is a public kayak launch/small dinghy dock on the east side of the basin at the south end of the mooring field with some public trash receptacles and a 15-20 minute walk to the commercial district. Public restrooms at the city marina dock site. Ida Thai just behind the city marina dock site is AWESOME !! Carolina Beach has a very nice beach and boardwalk area. Mooring field is a great place to watch fireworks when the city is having them (launched from the beach area).
Liked it here very much. Was our first visit to Carolina Beach. Easy to grab a mooring ball and tie-up. Reasonably busy but not overwhelming. Had no problem taking our kayaks to the dock - would be nice to have a ramp to slide the kayaks onto and make it easier to climb out. Fairly easy walk to the Boardwalk and beach. Had planned to just stay one night but extended two nights. Would definitely come back.
We routinely come up here during the summer and enjoy it each time. Early morning activity from fisherman getting underway can get a bit noisy for an hour or so...perhaps just on weekends. Mooring balls further from the landing dock may be quieter by not as convenient. Small grocery one block away has ice and other supplies.
just a quick overnight. Moorings in good condition, deep water. we'd stay again.
Nice stop. Nice anchorage. Good dingy dock nearby. Easy with Dockwa....could get a reply by phone oremail but in reality, it didnt matter as I virtually had my pick of mooring balls that appeared in good shape.
Great anchorage off ICW! Really like the clean lines on top of the mooring balls...no wet, slimy messes...thanks!
Love, love that the pennants are protected in the baskets on top so the pennants are not nasty. Randy Simon was very helpful. Mooring field is very convenient to 2 different dinghy dock options. Stroll on the boardwalk and the beach were splendid excursions and our bellies LOVED the stop at Pop's Diner.
this eas very easy and convenient mooring field. wish we could stsy konger to see tge town
Always a perfect stay. Randy is very helpful. Cleanest mooring balls on the ICW. #1 top notch. SV Katydid
This is the best mooring field anywhere on the east coast from Massachusetts to Florida. I love that one can pick up any ball they want rather than maneuvering around a tight mooring field trying to find a particular number. The pennants are new and lines are clean and dry, wrapped in a bowl on top of the ball. Perfection when it comes to moorings!
