Welcome to The Rose Bed and Breakfast

Calabash, North Carolina 28467
About the Area
We are located near the southern North Carolina coast approximately 2 miles from the South
Carolina border.  Within a few short miles are the Brunswick Island beaches of Ocean Isle
Beach, Sunset Beach, and Holden Beach.  Also to our south are the shore towns of Cherry
Grove, North Myrtle Beach, and Myrtle Beach in South Carolina.  If the beach isn't for you try
some of the numerous golf courses of the Grand Strand.  There are 35 championship golf
courses in Brunswick County that wind their way through some the most beautiful scenery on
the East Coast.  Crow Creek Golf Club, Meadowlands Golf Club, and Brunswick Plantation
Golf Resort are the closest but nearby are the Big Cats - Lion's Paw, Tiger's Eye and
Panther's Run with Leopard's Chase to be completed in 2007.

Antiques, local craft boutiques, and galleries all offer something for the casual or avid
shopper.  Museums like the Coastal Carolina Museum and nearby sites like the lighthouse of
Bald Head Island, plantations, and forts may appeal to the historian or the curious tourist.

In addition, how about trying - deep-sea fishing, kayaking, water-skiing, biking, hiking, or
tennis?  You can find numerous ways to fill your days with peace and relaxation or with
excitement and lots of motion.  The choice is yours.

To our north, you find historic Wilmington.  Enjoy the southern charm of the historic city in the
downtown area.  Also there you will find the USS North Carolina.  On the outskirts of the city
you can visit Fort Fisher or the North Carolina Aquarium.  Would you like to meet Simba? The
Tote-Em-In Zoo houses the lion who spent his cubhood in Florida pouncing about for the
animators who needed inspiration for the look and movement of the lion cub for the film.

To our south, you find the sun and fun capital of South Carolina - Myrtle Beach!  Enjoy the
fun at Broadway at the Beach or Barefoot Landing. The live shows at The Alabama Theatre,
The Carolina Opry, The Palace Theatre, The Tribute, and the dinner shows of The Dixie
Stampede or Medieval Times.

Dining in the area is as diverse as the fun. Dining can be as elegant as is offered at The
Brentwood or The Parson's Table in Little River or as casual as Christopher's Pizzeria in
Carolina Shores and anything in between.  But if you are staying near Calabash, you should
really try the Calabash Seafood places famous for the fresh fried shrimp, fish, and other
seafood, hush puppies, and slaw.
