This is where we got engaged!
Venus flytraps can only be found in the wild in a very small region in the coastal wetlands of the eastern Carolinas, and this hiking trail is where to go to spot them! You can also see 14 other species of carnivorous plants (like the pitcher plant) and orchids. We recommend bringing bug spray and hiking shoes -- the trail gets muddy!
Walk around downtown Southport, where you can find unique shops.
Our favorite bagel place in North Carolina.
One of our favorite restaurants on the island; it's where we go to celebrate birthdays and where we celebrated our engagement. We recommend making reservations.
Stop at Ruby's for your morning coffee, and then enjoy it on the Oak Island Pier, located directly behind the shop.
A casual local burger and seafood restaurant.
Pizza by the beach.
Southern inspired breakfast. Get there early because Fixins is a popular local spot!
A beachfront restaurant with great views, food, and drinks.
Stop by this brewery for some local beer selections.
