The area referred to as the Cape Fear is the southernmost cape on the North Carolina Coast. The "greater" Cape Fear area consists of four oceanfront counties. New Hanover, which includes Wilmington, Figure Eight Island and Wrightsville Beach, is a triangular area bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, the Cape Fear River on the west, and Pender County to the north. Pender County includes the southern half of Topsail Island. The northern half of Topsail is in Onslow County. West of the Cape Fear River and south to the state line is Brunswick County, one of the fastest-growing counties in the state.
