                     CASWELL 
                    BEACH
                   
                   While Fort Caswell saw action in several wars and eventually 
                  gave the island its name, your "action" may consist 
                  of the gentle surf and mild tides of the south-facing beach, 
                  situated at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. The cylindrical 
                  Oak Island Lighthouse, the brightest lighthouse in the United 
                  States, easily identifies this quiet, 4-mile-long family beach.
