When it comes to pumpkin patches, the Cape Fear region has no shortage of options. From farms to church fundraisers, many of them raise money for wonderful causes and offer great family fun. But like real estate, sometimes it all comes down to one thing—location, location, location.
That’s what makes the Carolina Beach Pier Pumpkin Patch stand out. All October long, families can celebrate fall at the seaside while picking out the perfect pumpkin with the ocean just steps away. It’s a pumpkin patch experience you won’t find anywhere else in the region.
The month-long event runs from October 1 through October 30, 2025, and is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Entry is free, and pumpkins, food, and drinks are available for purchase. On select Friday and Saturday evenings, starting at 6:00 p.m., visitors can enjoy live music performances—another reason why fall feels a little more fun at Carolina Beach Pier.
So, whether you’re carving a jack-o-lantern, decorating your front porch, or just soaking in the season, this is one autumn tradition worth making a trip to the beach for.
