It is still a thriving fishing village and port for travelers along the Cape Fear River could dock and enjoy some time on land.
The small town has a number have historical attractions they continue to live on not only in the downtown areas such as the Northrop House and Peacock House but in unique spots around town such as the North Carolina Maritime Museum. This museum is one of the three maritime museums sponsored by the state focusing on the history of the lower Cape Fear River.
