Southport Marina
Southport Marina sits along the Intracoastal Waterway in the charming historic town of Southport, where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic. You're dropping anchor in one of North Carolina's most storied coastal towns, with waterfront restaurants, a maritime museum, and a walkable downtown just steps away. The setting has that unhurried, old-salt character that's hard to find — Bald Head Island ferries glide past, and the views across the river are genuinely hard to beat.
