An archeological find in the middle of the Cape Fear River, dredged in a way that has created a mass amount of shark teeth, fossils, and whale bone waiting to be discovered by you. This is accessible by boat or kayak launch from River Road.

An island in the middle of the Cape Fear River known for finding shark teeth . Not far over the bridge but you will need a boat or a tour guide for this adventure. Best tide for treasures....low .

This is a hidden gem located in the Cape Fear River off River Road. Take one of the many sightseeing kayak excursions offered by local companies and spend the day looking for sharks' teeth and other treasures!
