Descripción
Carolina Beach State Park is a coastal state park that covers 761 acres of maritime forest, wetlands, and riverfront terrain, and is especially known for its population of Venus flytraps, which grow naturally in only a few places in the world. The park sits along the Cape Fear River and the Intracoastal Waterway, giving it a mix of river, marsh, and forest landscapes. Nearly 9 miles of trails offer easy access to all habitats.
More than 250 bird species have been recorded. Bordering the Cape Fear River, this park is situated on dunes and ridges typical of barrier islands and includes within its boundaries wooded sites of longleaf pine and turkey oak, as well as open grassy areas. Its coastal location and variety of vegetation make it a magnet for birds in all seasons. The open pine forest offers great birding for woodpeckers, grassland sparrows and numerous warblers. Prothonotary Warbler and Painted Bunting arrive in spring. Other birds that can be spotted include American Oystercatcher, Red-headed Woodpecker, Brown-headed Nuthatch, Brown Pelican and Summer Tanager. Fall migration can be spectacular, and winter brings waterfowl of all kinds.
