An Unusual Sight
While it is usual to see sail and motor boats on the river by Southport, North Carolina, it was very unusual to spot a tug boat hauling a home on the water!
Transport Ship
The ferry crossing between Southport and Fort Fisher also offers sighting of large transport ships on the river.
Seagulls Galore
The ferry trip to and from Fort Fisher is a fun aspect of a Carolina Beach vacation in its own right, featuring incredible far-away views of the banks of the Cape Fear River, dozens if not hundreds of seagulls that follow the stern of the boat begging for handouts, and miles of open water in virtually every direction. Piers at the ferry terminal also host these seagulls.
Arrival at Fort Fisher
The ferry arrives at Fort Fisher bringing cars and people to explore the island in North Carolina.
Ferrying Cars and People
Whether you’re embarking on a sunny beach vacation, visiting charming seaside villages, exploring the area’s rich history, or just enjoying some of the country’s best fishing spots, no visit to coastal North Carolina is complete without a ride on the North Carolina Ferry System. The Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry crosses the Cape Fear River/Intracoastal Waterway. The crossing time is 35 minutes.
Ferry from Southport to Fort Fisher
Undoubtedly one of the best deals in town is the Southport-Fort Fisher ferry ride. Costing a mere $7 for a carload, this convenient way to get back and forth from Southport to historic Fort Fisher (in North Carolina) is not only cost-effective, it’s a fun and scenic ride.
