When you are visiting the Cape Fear Region of North Carolina, there is a lot to see, and explore. The Aquarium at Fort Fisher is very interesting for adults and children. The Battleship North Carolina in downtown Wilmington is an amazing historical site to see, walking through the ship is like walking back in time. Cape Fear Region is also known for its Civil War history, check out the museum at Fort Fisher, walking the grounds you can almost visualize the battles that occurred.
Cape Fear Region Lighthouses are a big part of this area’s fishing and historical heritage. The small town of Carolina Beach is a fishing community, that has grown into a vacation spot for many people in the Carolinas. I got to mention inshore backwater fishing, on this post for this is what the Web Page is mostly about. Give Capt. Mike Dennis a call to book your inshore backwater charter on the Cape Fear River.
