Southport's Waterfront Park & Pier

You will not want to miss the Riverwalk, which starts at Waterfront Park and weaves around the riverfront through the Old Yacht Basin to the Southport Marina. There are several places to sit along the way to take in the sights and sounds. And also the most popular park is Waterfront Park, where you can sit on one of the many bench swings and relax while watching the transoceanic ships from everywhere pass on their way up the Cape Fear River to the State Ports of Wilmington. Bring you camera, you won´t want to miss the photo opportunities. It is so photogenic that a number of motion pictures and TV films have been made here due to the beauty that Southport has to offer.

How does one get Linking points in the system...

Hi All!

I am still a newbie and wondering how to get Linking points in the system. I have worked on this for an

hour or so with no success. I do not understan what a tag is either. Tags are not key words.

I know that some of you are laughing at this old dog learning new tricks. But at least I am

willing to learn.

With warm regards,

Ginger Willis Harper
