Southport
Charming.
​
Many words describe Southport, North Carolina, but charming is what first comes to mind when arriving at this historic fishing village known for its simple beauty on the coast.
​
Situated along the shores of the Cape Fear River and Intracoastal Waterway at the river’s mouth of the Atlantic Ocean, this small, 2.2 square mile village is a stunning combination of historic residences, lush coastal landscaping, and miles of water in every direction. It is both a quintessentially southern and maritime community with a distinct culture all its own.
Strolling the village and visiting small art galleries and antique shops is a nice respite from the surf and sun on gorgeous beaches. Southport is a truly a place to relax, enjoy the sun, and take in the history of the area.
