You’ll discover why Southport, often called “America’s Happiest Seaside Town,” is the perfect place to call home.  

Morning: Wake Up to Coastal Charm 

 Imagine yourself waking up in this charming coastal town. You step outside and feel the warm, golden sunlight as it rises over the coastline. That’s a typical morning in Southport, NC, where the day begins with a sense of peace and tranquility.  

Next, grab a cup of coffee and head to the waterfront to watch the boats drift by as the town slowly comes to life. The crisp morning air is perfect for a stroll, where you’ll pass by charming homes and friendly neighbors who greet you with a smile. Stop by Southport Coffee Co. for a delicious pastry or grab a cup of coffee at Café KOA. Living in Southport feels like a perpetual vacation, where every day starts with charm and gratitude. 

Afternoon: Explore the Best of Southport 

 
After a relaxing morning, it’s time to dive into the heart of Southport! Start by exploring the local shops along N. Howe Street, where you can find unique coastal treasures and handmade crafts. For lunch, swing by one of the many delightful seafood restaurants, like Fishy Fishy Café, where fresh catches are served with a side of stunning water views. If you’re a history buff, a visit to the North Carolina Maritime Museum is a must, offering a glimpse into Southport’s rich maritime heritage.


With its proximity to Oak Island, spend a day visiting the famous Oak Island Lighthouse, relaxing in the sun, or renting kayaks for an exciting adventure!

Evening: Sunset and Southern Hospitality
 

As the sun begins to set, Southport transforms into a picturesque scene straight out of a postcard. Head to Waterfront Park for the best views, where you can watch the sky turn shades of pink and orange over the Cape Fear River. For dinner, treat yourself to a delicious meal at the Provision Company or Oliver’s on the Cape Fear.  Afterward, catch a live band at the American Fish Company or enjoy a nightcap at the Royal James Rummery.

Southport’s charm doesn’t end with the day. The town’s close-knit community and laid-back vibe make it easy to see why it’s been dubbed “America’s Happiest Seaside Town.” Whether you’re catching up with friends at a local café or simply enjoying a quiet evening on your porch, Southport offers a lifestyle that’s as rich and rewarding as its history.
