How to get there

The sandbar sits in the Intracoastal Waterway just off Carolina Beach. Come by water — there’s no road to this one.

Boater’s directions
  1. Head into the ICW from Carolina Beach — Snow's Cut or the Carolina Beach Boat Basin.
  2. Run to the sandbar just north of the Carolina Beach waterfront; look for the tiki huts and the flags.
  3. Idle in slow, drop anchor off the bar, and tie up with the raft-up.

Planning to come out?

Free to RSVP. We’ll send the drop pin and any weather calls.

Know before you go

Leave no trace. Respect the water. Respect each other.

Yes — this is a boat-in event on the sandbar. If you don't have your own, come with a friend who does. Most people raft up together once they're on the bar.
