For only $14 total round-trip, you can take the ferry across the Cape Fear River from Fort Fisher/Kure Beach/Carolina Beach to Southport or vice versa. A quick 20 minute trip, but get there 30-45 mins before departure to ensure your spot. So cool to drive your car onto the ferry and then be able to get out and walk around while on the river.
