Historic Fort Macon


This is an awesome stop for those history buffs, and even the kids to be able to climb around an olde fort and have a ball. Admission is FREE, and the beach is right there perfect for picking sea shells or flying that perfect kite. You can make a day of it and visit the current Fort Macon (possibly where you are stationed) and about half a mile up is the public beach access that is suitable for swimming, sand castles, and body surfing.


Make sure to check out the local papers for the dates and times of the re-enactments performed at the Fort. It is truly amazing to watch and interact with volunteers who completely get into character to answer just about any question you may have about the Fort and the battles that it endured.
