A riverfront starting point with local food and shops on the downtown street grid.
Start with the downtown Riverwalk for a view of the Cape Fear and the battleship on the opposite bank. Front Street runs inland from the waterfront; use the directory to choose a restaurant or independent shop by its actual address. Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens adds a Market Street history stop when it is open. The battleship is a separate cross-river visit, and beach towns are a separate trip.
