Sightseeing
Lahingulaev Põhja-Carolina
1 Battleship Rd NEThe site of a Civil War battle, Fort Fisher is its own beach away from the other busy beaches near Wilmington. If you want to go to the beach and be around as few people as possible this is the spot. I've seen dolphins in the ocean here pretty regularly.
