Weekend in Southport, Fort Fisher, and Oak Island

A wonderful place to stroll, on the waterfront.

Gorgeous spot on the salt marsh by the yachts- dine with fantastic views!

Wide beach with some dunes, oily-streaked sand, and fishing pier.

Huge playground in a large park on the water. Memorable spot!

Boardwalk over the salt marsh. Magical views!

It's fun for kids to take a car ferry!

Top notch aquarium with nice temporary exhibits too!

Gorgeous grounds to walk around. Climb stairs to the cannon and see views over the Cape Fear River and fields of wildflowers.

Cool spot on the ocean, with sea wall, and large field with monument.

Cute town with pastel-colored beach houses and turquoise horizon.

Fun town with nice beach, ice cream shops, and boardwalk with amusement park.
