The beach is one of my favorite places and finding new beaches to explore and enjoy is exciting. This weekend, I decided to visit a beach on the Carolina Coast that I had not explored before. I decided to visit Holden Beach!
For those of you who have not been, Holden Beach is full of the natural NC coastal beauty and charm! The colorful beach houses and their various themes,
the sand dunes, and of course the seafood!
It is also a great place to find some beautiful seashells, sharks teeth, and even some unique sea finds that you may not have discovered yet. Here are some of the unique finds I found on my adventure:
Seashells:
Sandollar Fossils:
Shark Teeth:
Other unique finds:
After my visit to the beautiful beach and making some awesome finds in sand and water....I decided to enjoy some delicious seafood at the Mermaid Bar and Grill. If you are a fan of fried seafood....YOU NEED TO VISIT! This place has so many delicious options from fried oysters (My favorite!) to flounder sandwiches! The theming is great and there are options to eat outside at a lower level and top level where you can get great views of the island itself!
Plus...after your meal there are some great dessert options including Sunset Slush for some Italian Ice (definitely consider a pineapple/coconut OR cherry/blue raspberry combination), Sandcastles Sweet Treats (they salt water taffy and an assortment of fudge), and Beaches N Cream Ice Cream Shop (I highly recommend the Cookies N' Creme Ice Cream at Beaches N Cream).
Holden Beach did not disappoint and it is definitely a beach that I will be making a return destination too! Let me know about your favorite beach in the comments!
