That was happening in a no no situation. 30 years.and I could barely get out a sentence that didn't sound like Buger on "the revenge of the needs " might say. At least. In my scared of rejection heart. Was I really. Nah. Only. With her. Yes !!! I was pretty smooth. And. Def. A gentleman. But I f used up in a minute. And I get to sit with this beautiful , caring, understanding. Empathetic. Yet strong and fearless young Woman The Point is a spot she loves. And I'd known since my Dad showed my Twin Brother and I 50 yrs ago.

I have been enjoying The Point for the last six years and it is always a great time. My wife has been coming here since she was a little girl and it's still great.

We generally pull up in a boat or two to get all the family here. There are tons of places to anchor and depending on the time of day you can pull up to the sandbar and anchor there too.

The sand is generally fairly soft even though there are shells. You can swim without and let your kids loose, but sometimes the riptide can he strong so it's best to keep an eye on your kids. You can swim to the sandbars and we generally do this with the kids in life jackets even though the water is calm and not too deep.

Over the years I've seen all types of fish, dolphins, turtles, crabs, and this year we saw a manta ray. There are many different bird species too.

Im giving this place a 3 stars. It can go up and it was 5 stars even though I have not reviewed it. My family goes to Wilmington alot and we drive an hour to get to the Point.

It helped that there was a tide pool! For those unfamiliar with the term, basically a dug out spot for when the tide gets high it fills up and its like a big ocean pool on the beach. It helped with kids not wanting to deal with the waves and still get beach water and fun. No they have filled it in and it was just not there. Its still great spot but honestly the tide pool made the difference with kids. Please dig that back out so kids...
