Welcome! Walk five blocks south and you’ll come to the Cape Fear River waterfront and yacht basin. There are swings, a fishing pier, great restaurants and dancing and ice cream and fun! A couple of blocks east and you will be on Howe Street, the heart of dining, art studios, wellness services and shopping. Head west to Oak Island beaches where the sun rises and sun sets are amazing! (It’s about a 20 minute drive.) North is Wilmington. Take the ferry! Check the schedule: https://www.ncdot.gov/travel-maps/ferry-tickets-services/Documents/ferryschedule.pdf Further south is Myrtle Beach. Oh and a very nice fully stocked Walmart is just 1.8 miles up Howe Street. 
We recommend a Southport Fun Tour (first thing) 910 713 3373 southportfuntours.com Google restaurants and check out the menus. HAVE FUN! If you like our art and want more information please let us know. Oh and Safe Haven was filmed here, hence the Nicholas Sparks books. Take any BOOKS from Salt Nook that you like.
