What travelers are saying
- BillUsma7464 contributionsThis is a neat trip back and forth to Bald Head Island NC. The views are great and you can’t get to the Island without it. I do suggest making a reservation on line before you go. The capacity is somewhat limited and if you don’t have a reservation you can miss that boat and have to wait an hour for the next one. For the return trip if you have a can or Uber waiting you wouldn’t check your bag or you would be delayed. Going over it isn’t that big of a deal. They have a tram system or whomever you are visiting will pick you up.Written September 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Odella FEmerado, ND180 contributionsTook the ferry and walked around the shops and on the pier at Southport. Cute and friendly little town. We were out of main season which was nice for walking around. Large cargo ship was coming by pier. So fun to watch.Written September 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Kim G26 contributionsThere are a couple locations and I wasn't sure if we would actually catch one during our stay in Kure Beach. But we took the Ferry over to Southport and there one was. It was very hot and humid and it was nice to sit in the cool tasting room and sample some wines and more. 6 picks for tasting and they give you a small plate with bread and some of the oils that they make as well. We sampled Garlic and a Fig oil. Both were good. Gabe was setting up our tastings and was nice to chat with and we learned a few things from him as well. We tried the American stainless Chardonnay, Calabash White, a White Merlot, Merlot, Cab Sauv and Calabash Red. After all we tried Calabash White. Everything we tried was good but we narrowed down our take home choices to 2 Calabash White, 2 White Merlot, one Cab Sauv and one Calabash White.All the wines were reasonably priced too. They also do beers for those who don't care for wines. It would make a nice stop for a group of folks who like different beverages.Written August 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Patrick SDavie, FL1,227 contributionsQuiet and friendly. Easy on and off the boat. Very convenient location to the restaurants and shops.

- Dede KPittsburgh, PA2,882 contributionsWhy are old jails so much fun to explore? This jail located in the town of Southport, is such a fun hands on roadside attraction! Life in this old brick building had its share of criminals that left their marks throughout the cells. We loved seeing their drawings on the walls and items left behind. The kids enjoyed checking out the cells and even taking their own personal mugshots (that better be the only one they ever take!) A nice tourist attraction!Written August 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- pfefmeisterSan Francisco, CA4,367 contributionsStopped here and enjoyed the gallery. This has a great selection of local artists, nicely displayed in a bright, light filled space. Great historical building, well equipped to show wonderful crafts. Maybe too much pottery for my taste. Worth a visit when wandering through town.Written August 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- ROBERT ASouthport, NC41 contributionsTrinity United Methodist Church is a must see for visitors to Southport, NC. Its sanctuary is a remarkable illustration of old time architecture and construction. If inclined attend a service on Sunday, you will find the congregation welcoming and anxious to extoll the benefits of living in a small seaside town.Written December 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathleen H1 contributionA fantastic art gallery with such talented and diverse artists!! We were immediately greeted by the friendly owner and she told us all about the artists and their work. It was refreshing to see such different mediums and one of a kind pieces. This little piece of heaven will now be on my list to visit with every visit to Southport!Written December 3, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
