Welcome
to the CENTURY 21 Dorothy Essey & Associates, Inc.'s
website for Southport and Oak Island, NC.
Southport
originally incorporated in 1792 as Smithville, its progressive citizens
changed its name to Southport in 1887 in hopes of attracting a port.
The port went further upstream to the City of Wilmington but this
entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in the City today.Southport
is located at the mouth of the Cape Fear River and it offers the
best of coastal living. Southport's waterfront pier stretches out
into the Cape Fear river for fishing, strolls and scenic views.
Do you Golf? You'll find more than two dozen area golf courses!
Enjoy life in a home town atmosphere reminiscent of yesteryear,
where front porch swings are the norm and outdoor activities are
an important part of everyday life. A visit to our area is not complete
without a day or two of walking through these antique and specialty
shops, stopping along the way for a leisurely lunch at an outside
pub or restaurant along the waterfront or yacht basin, taking a
pedicab historic tour of the City, watching transoceanic vessels
pass by at Waterfront Park and visiting the NC Maritime Museum in
Southport. The City of Southport also offers sailors, anglers and
boaters a safe haven through the Southport Marina, Old Yacht Basin
and City Pier.
The
Town of Oak Island
was formed in 1999 when the towns of Long Beach and Yaupon Beach
consolidated. This consolidation gave it the distinction of the
most populated incorporated town in Brunswick County. Although the
largest Town in the County, a small town atmosphere is enjoyed by
its residents. Oak Island offers approximately a ten mile stretch
of southern facing ocean beach as seen on the background of this
page with quiet surf and moderate tides. This family-oriented beach
community has water related activities for all ages. Three piers,
a marina, and public launch facilities make all types of fishing/boating
possible. The foundation of this beach community has always been
public access — consider the over 52 public beach accesses
(most with parking), two public boat ramps, several areas to put
in canoes and kayaks, an extensive sidewalk system for bikes and
pedestrians to enjoy, recreation trails, numerous parks and playgrounds,
a full service parks and recreation department, and youth friendly
facilities such as the newly completed skate board park.
