ICW Southport - the South Side of North Carolina

by grandmaR - last update: Jun 4, 2003

Our boat at end of the fuel dock Southport Marina
We never actually stopped at Southport proper until the spring of 2002. Both times for the 2000/2001 trip we went to Bald Head instead. (See Bald Head pages) And on the way down in the fall of 2001 we went to a new marina south of Southport. We finally visited here in the spring of 2002

Southport has a historic district where one can walk around and see cottages like this one. There are also some museums and gallery.
Southport from the ICW
But Southport for us is primarily a water front town. If you look carefully at the photo, you can see the blue Southport water tower past all the docks

Pros:"Historic Town"
Cons:"Infrastructure on the water not always well kept"
In A Nutshell:"Harbor town"
