About Southport

A picturesque, deeply historic maritime village sitting at the mouth of the Cape Fear River, Southport covers the waterfront, Price Creek, and access to the river's massive shipping channel. Visitors spend their days walking the waterfront parks beneath ancient live oaks, watching massive cargo ships navigate the river, dining at waterfront crab shacks, and browsing antique shops. The immense tidal pull of the Cape Fear River is constantly on display here; watching from the Southport waterfront during an incoming high tide is the best time to see massive, ocean-going freighters smoothly navigate the deep channel on their way to Wilmington.
