I lived on Oak Island when I was younger, we kept our house and go back every summer! There are kind people, and lots of family activities, Forth of July in Soutport is wonderful, The Provision Co. restaraunt has the best crab cakes (located in Southport), and the Flying Pig Cafe, on Oak Island, is the best place to hang out with friends and enjoy ...
Stumbled on Oak Island quite by accident - thus our love for the beach and the tranquil vacations was born. We have now been going there for 7 years and our family refuses to even look for a new place to spend their summer. Have made wonderful friends. Going feeds our souls and somehow keeps us going through the year with anticipation of our return.
Southport is a beautiful, tranquil place to visit and live. Quaint shops, delicious seafood, slow-pace, beaches nearby. My family and I go to the area (Southport/Oak Island) for vacation every year. It's always with a touch of sadness that we say good-bye to Southport until the next year when we can visit again.
