Mike’s Fresh Seafood is located along a busy section of Market Street, but is often overlooked by seafood fans as its rustic exterior and convenience-store vibe might not register with visitors who are looking for fresh casual seafood either in-house or on the go. With that being said, visitors should nevertheless take a second look at this destination, which has a rotating selection of frozen and fresh catches, and which operates under the mantra of “You buy, and we fry.”
Obviously, being a seafood market, visitors can pick up whole fish, shellfish, and cut filets to take home and cook at their leisure, but hungry patrons who’d rather not do the work can also pick out their main dish and have it cooked right on-site by the in-house kitchen. Visitors will want to check out the messy specials board, which is always changing, and which can include classics like flounder, shrimp, oyster or scallop plates, specialties like grouper or Mahi Mahi, or even land-lubber treats like hot and battered wings. There’s also plenty of sides, including French fries, potato salad and fried okra, and a super-casual atmosphere that’s good for fast meals. A surprising find for seafood fans, Mike’s Fresh Seafood will make newcomers re-align their perception of what makes a good seafood joint.

Visitors will find an easy-to-get-to beach paradise at Oak Island, an expansive but peaceful retreat that's located an easy drive away from Wilmington, Southport, and other inland North Carolina communities. Both the main town and the island itself share the name of "Oak Island," and while the town extends slightly inland, encompassing the Cape Fear Regional Jetport, the rest of the community is cut off from the world by the long Elizabeth River, and a network of salty creeks and canals. This watery gap may not be particularly wide, but visitors will feel the change as soon as they cross over the bridge. Once ashore, Oak Island is a picturesque landscape of charming vacation rental homes, cool seafood restaurants and shops, and miles of ocean shoreline.
New visitors may find that making a list of things to do during a packed Cape Fear vacation seems, initially, like an impossible task. With a wealth of incredible attractions, activities, and stunning landscapes, it’s hard to narrow down the literally hundreds of diversions into a single vacation agenda. So if you’re having a little difficulty deciding what to do during your Cape Fear vacation, consider these activities that are readily waiting at your fingertips. From cruising through open river waters, to sampling the finest cuisine in coastal NC, these are the “must” things to do that have led to countless happy vacations.
