Southern Shores NC was the first Outer Banks development
way back in 1947 and officially become a town in 1979. Much
has changed over the years and much remains the same.
Southern Shores is tucked south of Duck and north of Kitty
Hawk on a sliver of land just one mile wide. Vacation homes
and cottages are on quiet streets with a quick walk to private
beaches. Shops and fast or fine dining are a short drive away.
Southern Shores NC remains a private residential community
with little commercial development. Real estate for sale offers
traditional homes as well as salty cottages and fashionable
beach mansions. Privacy and low-density development keep the
Southern Shores beach pristine and uncrowded. Perfect.

Today Outer Banks NC coastal beaches provide endless summer recreational activities with
rest and relaxation among the most popular. In the old days land transportation along the
remote Outer Banks was difficult. Small communities developed, each with its own unique
character and style. Southern Shores and Dare County share a common heritage with neighboring
communities on the North Carolina Outer Banks: Outer Banks NC Map.

Realty Websites features real estate and vacation rentals in several waterfront communities
along the historic North Carolina coast: on the Outer Banks,
on the Crystal Coast, and in historic Harbor Towns. Each has a casual culture of summers at the beach and ocean living
Lighthouses gleam along the North Carolina Coast like diamonds protecting a beautiful lady.
The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, shown left, is a National Historic Landmark and the most famous. The Outer Banks are actually home to four historic lighthouses dating from the 1800s.
Currituck Beach Lighthouse is the furtherest north at Corolla NC. Head south along Route 12 to Duck NC, a beach village of ocean real estate and vacation rentals. Then Southern Shores NC and
Kitty Hawk are near
Route 158 with access to the mainland. All offer real estate for sale: beach houses, ocean homes, waterfront condos, commercial and investment property.
NC Routes 12 and 158 merge as you head south to Kill Devil Hills NC. Old Bodie Lighthouse is just south of Nags Head NC and the Cape Hatteras National Park soon appears. A quick detour on the Virginia Dare Trail leads to the Roanoke Island community of Manteo and the Dare County Regional Airport. Back on the beach and through Cape Hatteras is
Ocracoke Island NC and one the oldest lighthouses on the North Carolina coast still on active duty.
