Love going to the movies, but cringe at the high prices? These days, taking a family of four to the movies can really put a dent in your wallet.
Long to get away from it all, but find that most summer vacation spots are just out of your budget's reach?
You need to discover a little-known place along the Carolina coast where lodging is affordable and tons of activities are free – including first-run family movies under the stars. Add in pristine beach, fabulous fishing, and nostalgia-inducing low-cost activities like cycling, fishing and surfing and you've got everything you need to have a great time.
So, you ask, where can you find this place? Head southeast from the port city of Wilmington, N.C. and you'll run right into Carolina Beach.
This seaside town has it all. Water-sports, the beach, a boardwalk with amusements, easy access to historic sites and the N.C. Aquarium.
And free movies. Not just any movies but first-run flicks hot from the big ticket-charging theaters. The Blind Side. Twilight-New Moon. Avatar. The Princess & The Frog. The list goes on.
Movies are the secret weapon in Carolina Beach's plan to draw visitors into the little beach town during summer. That makes you and your wallet the big winners.
The town's annual Film & Fireworks Series will take you back to the days of drive-ins and watching movies under the stars. But here all you need is a lawn chair or blanket to spread out and enjoy free films.
Every Sunday, the place to be is Carolina Beach Lake Park. By Thursday, you'll be rounding out your summer vacation dancing to the (free) sounds of a local band and watching a dazzling display of fireworks on the beach.
So pack your bags! What are you waiting for?
