Southport named Coastal Living’s ‘Happiest Seaside Town’

SOUTHPORT, NC (WWAY) — It’s a happy day in Southport. But then again, it often is. At least according to a magazine contest.

“Coastal Living” rates Southport as the “Happiest Seaside Town” in America. Let the celebration begin!

“Everyone’s your neighbor here,” Coastal Living reports, “and most of the town’s residents walk, bike, or drive golf carts down Southport’s oak tree–lined streets to enjoy a morning coffee at Port City Java, browse antiques shops and galleries, and head to the waterfront for a table—and delicious fish tacos—on the pier of Fishy Fishy Café.”
