Sightseeing

Historic Southport, NC is rich in history and sits nestled next to the sea. From the downtown waterfront , there are wonderful views of the Oak Island lighthouse and Bald Head Island. Southport is a short ferry ride to Carolina Beach and the Fort Fisher Aquarium. You can even drive your car onto the ferry for a fun adventure! I hope you will enjoy your visit to our local community and explore all our area has to offer.
