Oh, Southport... Southport, NC is one of the first coastal towns I fell in love with. There's just something so quaint and charming about this sleepy little town. It's the perfect place for a day or weekend trip alike! Here's what we recommend for a day trip to Southport. First things first, stop by Port City Java for a cup of coffee Head to the Waterfront Park and stay awhile Visit the Southport Visitor's Center Stroll the streets of downtown Southport Head to a waterfront restaurant for lunch Visit the North Carolina Maritime Museum at Southport Peruse more stores and/or book a boat tour Have dinner at Fishy Fishy cafe and watch the sunset Safe Haven Movie You may recognize Southport from the movie
