If watching the sun rise over the ocean is your thing, we have a section for Southern Shores Oceanfront Homes and a section for Southern Shores Soundfront Homes with sunset views over open water. For the boaters, there is a section for Canalfront Homes in Southern Shores and if your plans are in the future and you just want to get your foot in the door then a building lot in Southern Shores might what's needed to get you started. Browse and enjoy.

You can drive through rolling, wooded hills reminiscent of the mountains to suddenly find yourself at the beach as you cross over the top of the ridge.
