Everything Else
It's the closest general store, halfway between the beach and our house. If they say "Have Fun" they think you're a tourist - get a "Have a good day" and they think you're a local.

It's close to the aquarium and that's the real draw. Take the ferry across from Southport NC. Bring bread to feed the Seagulls. Get in line in time to ferry back - otherwise it's a long drive.

Food Scene
It's the best inexpensive breakfast on the island. Kids always get the "Baby Bear" Breakfast. If you're a little hung over, the food tastes better.

Best tasting seafood I've had in my life. Ambiance is just ok - but the chef is excellent. They make good drinks too. You'll probably need a reservation.

All around great restaurant for drinks, food, atmosphere. Can't really be beat - plus it's by the set of where 'Safe Haven' was filmed. Eat/drink/and watch boats go by - isn't that why you're there?

On the island, this is the place for soft serve. If you get to Southport go to Spike's Dairy Bar (it's better). If they make you a blizzard and don't show it to you upside down it's free.

Drinks & Nightlife
'Good' fine dining on the island. View is the best part, followed by food, followed by drinks. Ok so it's mostly the view... but the food is good. And they have wine.

Essentials
Best and freshest fish, crabs, shrimp to take home and grill or make a meal with. It's easy to confuse their passion for seafood for rudeness. But some people really are THAT into fish. Great Place!

Shopping
I don't really recommend this place - but if you need some beach junk this is the place to go (chairs, fake tattoos, hermit crabs) - It's the beach junk store!
