While having a boat along would have been nice, its not unnecessary for this area, it has plenty of sites to see, especially if you're into light houses.

Spare's right about OBX!!....it's an adventure land in and of itself!!...still a LOT of wild, undeveloped coast out there...

Also you can look into Beaufort (bo-fort)....Hi-Speed Tour Boat operates outta there and wild horses (see also at OBX) and light house at Lookout Point...

And look into the Southport/Oak Island area for quaint shops and great restaurants...just south of Wilmington...ALL the areas Spare and I have mentioned have GREAT SEAFOOD restaurants, fishing charters and plenty to do for the family...I hear what Spare says, but given a choice of boat/no boat, if possible, I'd have a boat at any of these!!...
