What you need to know
No cars on the island — you rent a golf cart at the dock. Protected harbor, but the run across the Cape Fear from Southport gets sporty when wind opposes tide.
Forecast, observations and tides are live from NOAA, the National Weather Service and NDBC. Run time, fuel, depth and daylight are calculated from your boat profile. Planning aid only — not for navigation. Carry current charts.
