📒 Southport, NC Field Notes

Why you should go: Haven is the kind of place that makes a small town feel like it has a secret. Stop in for a scoop of imported Italian gelato, stay for a glass of wine or a local craft beer, and if the timing is right — live music on the back patio under the lights. We grabbed a bottle to take back to the Robert Ruark Inn, which tells you everything about how good the selection is. The vibe is relaxed, the staff is genuinely welcoming, and the patio has great seating. It’s a perfect Southport hour.
