Southport is a charming, walkable coastal town centered on a scenic historic waterfront with lively marinas, seafood restaurants, boutique shops, and year‑round festivals—ideal for travel therapists who want relaxed evenings, outdoor activities (boating, fishing, beaches, cycling), and a friendly small‑town pace between shifts.
When you crave bigger-city options, nearby Wilmington and the Myrtle Beach area (both within about 75 miles) offer expanded dining, nightlife, shopping, and medical resources while Southport remains a peaceful home base.
