The charming small town of Southport is located along the Atlantic coastline of North Carolina, a place where history, dining, shopping, and simply enjoying the waterfront breezes are a part of the daily laid-back life. While visitors can be tempted to just sit on a porch, relax, and take in the views, Southport offers several attractions and plenty of fun for a weekend getaway, including maritime museums, lighthouses, wine and craft beer tastings, historic forts, and much more. This is all in addition to the miles of coastline of beach and ocean waters.
