Hidden Gem: Sharks Tooth Island on Cape Fear River

WILMINGTON, NC (WTVD) — Summer is in full swing and that means a lot of people head to the North Carolina coast.

If you are looking for a different kind of adventure on the coast, you may want to put Sharks Tooth Island on your list.

Many locals told ABC11 they have heard about Sharks Tooth Island, but, not many know where it is.

So we went to Mahanaim Adventures and Lead Guide Joseph Harty unfolded the mystery.

The island formed when the Cape Fear River was dredged, and is accessible by kayak off of River Road Park in Wilmington.
