Touristy Tips: What the Locals Love
 
Welcome June and that glorious time of year when the weather hits us just right, everything is green, flowers are blooming, the beaches are calling, and we celebrate all the reasons we love living in the Cape Fear area. When we say, "We live where others vacation," this is exactly the mood we are in.

While it’s easy to spot the tourists with their flip-flops and selfie sticks, locals and visitors often find themselves falling in love with the same experiences. There’s something uniquely universal about the appeal of the Cape Fear, where the Atlantic breeze, historic brick-lined streets, and fresh seafood draw both day-trippers and lifelong residents.

Here are ten of those moments when we find ourselves acting like tourists, and loving every minute of it: Local Favorites in the Cape Fear.

Beach Safety: Flag Colors and More

 

The Beach Flag Warning System in North Carolina

Most North Carolina beaches follow a standardized flag system based on guidelines from the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA). 

Green Flag – Low Hazard A green flag indicates calm conditions and a low risk of dangerous currents. It’s the safest flag to see when you’re planning to swim, but remember: the ocean is always unpredictable. Stay alert, even on green flag days.

Do you know these beach flag colors?
