Freeman Beach is a historically black-owned 180 acres of undeveloped beachfront property located at the north end of Carolina Beach. It has been owned for over 150 years by the descendents of Alexander Freeman, a notable free black man from North Carolina. During the Jim Crow years in the South, Freeman Beach was the only beach accessible to African Americans and developed rich cultural traditions and history.
