The Dry Dock Inn has been a long standing establishment on Carolina Beach since 1975. Our current owners are all local to the island and the Wilmington area; we care about our community and the people that reside within it and we strive to provide the best experience to all of our guests. We have the friendliest staff on the island, eager to make your stay the best it can be!
Once you have checked in there is no need to drive anywhere- we are within walking distance to everything! The Carolina Beach Boardwalk with rides and attractions can be seen from our location and public beach access is a three-minute walk. Pleasure Island Lake is just to the right of our front entrance where you can enjoy seasonal farmer's markets on Saturdays. Squiggly's Ice Cream Shop is right across from our outdoor pools to enjoy a late night treat and in the morning walk right up the street to Kate's Pancake House for a gigantic stack of pancakes! Relax with the whole family in our lighted patio area in front of the fire or enjoy all the nightlife Carolina Beach has to offer at our local bars and clubs with live entertainment every weekend.
We would love for you to be our guest here at the Dry Dock Inn!
