Southern Shores Travel Guide: Reviews, photos, & videos
Established relatively late in the game in 1979, the vibrant little residential town of Southern Shores has more than made up for lost time with its scenic wild life and friendly town center that draws visitors in droves every year making it one of the Outer Banks’s most loved destinations. Located just north of Kitty Hawk right across from the Wright Memorial Bridge, Southern Shores is a private community town by choice with hopes to keep rampant commercialism and industry at bay. Looks like it’s working! Nestled comfortably between the scenic Currituck Sound and the mighty Atlantic Ocean, Southern Shores is an ideal vacation spot that’s fun and safe for the whole family.
Situated around a four square mile swath of pristine property, the Southern Shores real estate is chock full of scenic hiking and biking trails that will feel like heaven to the outdoorsman and fitness enthusiast. And since the beaches are all private, those who tend to enjoy their space when soaking in some sun will find the open conditions more than ideal. For those with families or small children, head over to the Southern Shores Community Soundside bathing beach and playground for a relaxing day in the sun that will appeal to the kiddos and not drive the parents crazy (or into debt). And with a little more than 2,000 year round residents, builders and owners of Southern Shores vacation properties are starting to see a higher demand for homes that tend to be on the fancier side (read – mansions). So be on the lookout for some interesting Southern Shores property sales in the near future as this pristine Outer Banks vacation haven continues to ascend into the upper echelon of sought after vacation destinations.
