From the reviews

Quiet peaceful little hidden gem on the island. The tower has peek a boo views of the ocean and it’s a very short climb. Only about two stories high. It also features manicured grass and a pavilion. A great spot for photos or a picnic

Very peaceful location well kept and fun to visit especially the tower is a must to climb to the top

Getting married at The Common at Cape Fear Station

The Common at Cape Fear Station is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
