Review:
A highlight of any visit to Southport is The North Carolina Maritime Museum, with its focus on the maritime heritage of the area.
It contains a fascinating and detailed collection that covers piracy, shipwrecks, the Civil War, hurricanes, commercial fishing, and other events that have left their mark on the coast.
While there is plenty of time for relaxing in downtown, with its ample supply of porches, other visitors prefer a sojourn at the Southport Waterfront Park.
Downtown is also host to the Historic Riverwalk, which introduces newcomers to the waterfront milieu.
