Southport, North Carolina

Once a quaint little fishing village on Cape Fear River, the City of Southport, North Carolina has come of age.

Where once pirates roamed the riverfront between voyages, visitors to the South Brunswick Islands now flock to buy treasure of their own. Southport has become known far and wide for its eclectic assortment of antique shops, art galleries, boutiques and upscale restaurants.

Founded in colonial times, Southport, formerly Smithville, features stately homes overlooking the mouth of the Cape Fear. Restored homes and cottages from the 1700s and 1800s line the city's streets and form the basis for an intercepting walking tour. Southport is also home to Fort Johnston, active since Colonial times, and to an active arts community.

Southport has consistently been rated one of the best places to retire in the Southeastern United States; however, you don't have to be retired to live here. Southport offers a quiet yet suprisingly active environment in which to live regardless of your age or the size of your family.

Ideally located 30 minutes south of the City of Wilmington and 45 minutes to the north of Myrtle Beach, Southport offers a relaxing alternative to the hustle and bustle of city life. Perfect for either the retired golf enthusiast or for the family that is just starting out, you would be hard pressed to find a more perfect town on the Cape Fear than that of Southport.
