Immerse yourself in history.
For more than 200 years Southport, NC has stood sentinel to vessels passing through where the Cape Fear River, Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean converge. Basking in the glow of centuries old lighthouses, its charming oak lined streets have been home to anglers, riverboat captains and seafarers alike. Today, life in this small port town is as unique an experience as it was then and surrounding it all is a sense of community, creating a lifestyle of warmth, color and pride.
In addition to the long-established port activities that still include fishing off the City Pier, boating through the Old Yacht Basin and picnicking in Waterfront Park, your home at Cades Cove puts you just minutes from a multitude of activities the entire family can enjoy.
Minutes to beautiful Oak Island & Caswell beaches. 45 Minutes to Wilmington, NC & Myrtle Beach, SC. Downtown Southport features antique shops, art galleries, outdoor cafes, a Maritime Museum, diverse dining & the Waterfront Park. Its just a short drive to over a hundred of the area's best championship golf courses and just a ferry ride away from the prestigious Bald Head Island or Fort Fisher.
