Fort Fisher is the Place to Be

We like to occasional make a day trip to the beach and for us you cannot beat Fort Fisher. It is convenient from I-40, it has free parking, it has public restrooms, it allows pets on the beach anytime they are open year round, and it is never overcrowded. Walk a small bit down the beach and you are alone away from everyone even in the middle of the summer. Another nice option about it's location is that you can always hop on the ferry if you want after hanging out at the beach for hours and ride over to Southport and its neat downtown with some good eating places and nice places to relax.
