Enjoy Time on the Sand
No matter what brings you to Holden Beach, North Carolina, there’s always a reason to make the beach an integral part of your stay! Here, scenic shorelines abound and the options for making your visit a wellness-focused event are seemingly endless. While a simple stroll on the sand can be wonderfully refreshing for the mind and body alike, the beaches here are also inviting when you’re looking to run or bike your way through a stay. When you’re hoping to elevate your exercise on the sand, there’s a designated exercise path that’s accessible at the 500 block of Ocean Boulevard West. Many outdoor enthusiasts use this trail for time on their bike, but there are multiple exercise stations to stop at along the way that give you options to work on strength and flexibility as you venture out. Afterward, cool down with a walk on the shorelines that are particularly scenic and tranquil at both the west and east ends of the island. It’s a great way to catch your breath, search for seashells, and savor a relaxing view too.
