Southport Visitors who want to extend their in-town explorations to the waterfront borders and beyond can sign up for sailing lesson, stand-up paddle board (SUP) lesson or rental, or even a “Yoga on the Water” class through Southport Paddle and Sail. Located on the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway and the historic downtown area, and just a shell’s throw from a network of wide open calm waters and salty marshes and canals, this on-the-water excursion company will allow visitors to enjoy this gorgeous coastal town from an entirely new perspective.
While a sailing school is located on-site, the SUP adventures are arguably the most popular activities that Southport Paddle and Sail has to offer. Visitors can sign up for a beginners lesson with a guided paddling tour, a more self-commandeered adventure with boat support, and even rentals for visitors who want to explore on their own steam. Operated by two USCG licensed captains who are happy to share their love of the water with others, patrons can expect a friendly, safe and fun learning experience, as well as a new skill that they can utilize for endless future vacations. Fun for all ages and skill levels, Southport Paddle and Sail will let visitors enjoy the Southport waterfront in an entirely new light.

Arlie Gardens is home to a stunning collection of natural gardens and eye-catching artworks which continually impresses visitors to the Wilmington area. Established in 1901, and originally used as a private garden for the wealthy Pembroke family, the garden has since been transformed into a public attraction that’s dotted with thousands of camellias, magnolias, wisteria, azaleas, and other southern blooms that thrive in the warm coastal climate. The azaleas are arguably the star of the show, as there are more than 100,000 red, white, and magenta hued-azaleas to admire.
