Learn About Southern Shores, NC
Welcome to Southern Shores, NC
Just south of Duck and just north of Kitty Hawk is the town of Southern Shores. Comprised of mostly single-family homes, with very little commercial development, and a marvelous stretch of beach, Southern Shores is a beautiful town. Of all the towns on the Outer Banks, Southern Shores has one of the lowest-density oceanfront homes behind a protective dune line.
Our Outer Banks vacation rentals range from luxury oceanfront homes to contemporary Southern Shores rentals to rustic flat-tops.
One of the benefits of staying in Southern Shores is getting away from all of the busyness of restaurants, shopping, and other places. Since it's mostly residential Southern Shores provides more of an "escape from it all" feel, while at the same time restaurants and shopping are a short drive away.
