We have done many family walks and beach days here! Beautiful views and lots of parking (paid, sadly haha- $6/hr).
Beautiful flowers, ponds, and paths perfect for a nice walk or a picnic!
Enjoy an amazing scenic walk by the Cape Fear River, eat at Pilot House, Elijah's or Anne Bonny's Bar and Grill on the water, and end with shopping at local boutiques downtown!
Come see beautiful gardens and scenery for free daily 8am-5pm!
Located in the heart of the downtown district, along the beautiful Cape Fear River, The Cotton Exchange offers a unique shopping experience that reflects the rich history of the Port City. Visitors will find themselves on cobblestone walkways in open-air courtyards as they travel through our eight-building complex made up of 30 specialty shops and restaurants. Free parking! Take your parking ticket with you and get validated from our merchants. 3 hours free when validated from shops and restaurants.
We've had many date nights here for delicious sushi and Asian food!
Chill indoor and outdoor atmosphere with delicious coffee, pastries, drinks (espresso martinis are their specialty!), and even smores at the fire pits!
We love dinners here inside or outside or getting pad thai and pad see ew to go! Their coconut cake is out of this world!!
Great local burger and fresh fries spot!
