Your Southbound Trip

Southport Marina would like to accommodate you for your travels south

Southport Marina is set directly on the Waterway and is a short
stroll to the Southport town center. 

Recently named "America's Happiest Seaside Town" by Coastal 
Living  magazine, picturesque Southport is steeped in history and 
charm,  and has attracted not only visitors  but film crews for such 
movies   as "Safe Haven," "A Walk to Remember" and
"The Secret Lives of Bees." 

Fronting the Cape Fear River  and  the notorious Frying Pan Shoals, Southport has been a port  of haven for sea captains since the 1700s. Wander the docks and  sample such local specialties as crab cake sandwiches and steamed  shrimp at the restaurants along the water.
