The Unique Water Tour You Can Only Take In North Carolina
For a far less congested way to tour the southern North Carolina coast, hop aboard the Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry for a unique water tour you’ll only find in the Tar Heel State. Residents and visitors of Carolina Beach find this fun water tour is a fun way to explore expansive views of the Cape Fear River while also circumventing a very long alternative driving route to get to Fort Fisher via a bridge all the way up in Wilmington.
The Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry is one of seven inland ferrys along the North Carolina coast.
Passengers are encouraged to get out of their vehicles to enjoy the views, the fresh air, and the sunshine. There is always plenty of space to walk around on the boat's main deck.
