Check out this video from one of our shark tooth adventure tours in the Cape Fear River. We found about 60 teeth that day and took a little detour up a nearby creek in search of alligators and the many different species of birds that live there.

Get notified of discounts and when the best conditions will be for shark tooth hunting or for specialty adventures. (Example, a storm is forecasted to come through the area over the weekend and that means Monday morning after the storm has passed will be the best time all year to beach comb Masonboro island for shells, beach glass, and sharks teeth) We will send you a “heads up” for that opportunity.
