The Carolina Dreaminโ mural was painted by artist Jason Parker on the side of the Crush & Grind building in Carolina Beach. The mural captures the peaceful energy of a coastal morning. Bright orange, yellow, pink, and other warm colors fill the sunrise, while flowers grow from the dunes and surfers ride the waves. The mural connects several things that make Carolina Beach special: colorful sunrises, ocean waves, native coastal plants, surfing, and time spent outdoors.
