About More of North Carolina
These North Carolina coastal places sit outside the state's other guides. In Wilmington, the Battleship North Carolina fought in every major naval offensive in the Pacific during World War II and offers a self-guided tour across nine levels. Cape Lookout National Seashore covers 56 miles of undeveloped barrier islands on the Crystal Coast, reached only by boat, with a visitor center on Harkers Island, a diamond-patterned lighthouse and wild horses on Shackleford Banks.
