If you go at low tide, you can walk to the connecting island, which is so quiet and beautiful!

Free to experience. Watched the ferry from the jetty. Beautiful area.

Great views, fun walk out on the rocks to the island… the rocks are underwater at high tide.

A unique spot to catch the sunset as it goes down over the water. The rock jetty and the tree on the hill are great spots for photos.

Great rocks at Fort Fisher

This was just kind of there, not a lot of info. Nice little walk and some fantastic views, just be careful as likely always wet.

It's amazing to walk around and relax.

Beautiful area! We walked along the jetty to Zeke’s Island at low tide. Beautiful constant breeze and frequent sightings of the ferry to and from Southport. It’s important to know that the jetty becomes increasingly broken down and difficult to navigate as you get closer to Zeke’s Island. Also, the rocks are covered with many sharp clam shells and it’s easy to get cut if you stumble or take a wrong step. Sturdy shoes are a must, and I don’t recommend taking young children.

We had so much fun looking for shells and sea glass. We even found a few weights and a bell!
Part of it was manageable for our kids but a majority of it was too difficult for our 4 yr old.
Recommend going early in the morning while the tide is low.

Right next to it was a little beach with a few shells but softer sand than the other beaches we went to

I have taken the trek all the way to Zekes island on these rocks and explored that area. I will say I think this is technically not allowed, however during the time that I did it there were no signs saying otherwise… if you choose to do this, you need to be really careful of slippery seaweed infested rocks and understand and know when the tides are changing from low to high because you most certainly can get stuck out their. Low tide is key and should take roughly 30 minutes to get out their.
