    I want to take the kids to the beach next weekend for a day trip. Haven't been in years so we're all excited. What's the best beach for day trips?? I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!!

    Wrightsville is the closest beach. Carolina beach is a little bit further and they also have the aquarium down at Fort Fisher.
     
  3. Topsail is less crowded. It takes and extra half hour to get there though. It takes us about 2 1/2 hours to get to Topsail from the McGees Crossroads exit.

    we went to kure for the day a few weeks ago and it was wonderful! not too crowded and parked right at the beach.

    We went there last year and had no problems at all. It was great.

    Carolina is probably the best to suit everyone's needs. Wrightsville is a bit closer though, but not that much. Plus, if you want some good seafood at a decent price you can stop at Something Fishy down near Monkey Junction either going or coming back. Its a great little place to stop by in your leisure beach attire without feeling underdressed.

    Love Carolina Beach. And the Deck House is awesome for dinner. $$ but worth it for the seafood.

  20. I've been mispronouncing it too. Whoops! Is Kure right below Carolina beach. I've been there once but I can't remember where it is.
