     Development of the community was planned by local artist and visionary Frank Stick who purchased the entire tract of land in the 1940s. Stick and his son David helped turn the community into a harmonious marriage with nature.  Canals and water paths abound, as do many species of birds and wildlife.  You feel as if you are inside one of the artist's canvases.  Consisting of only 4 square miles of land, the town includes 2 private marinas, a golf course, sound side picnic & bathing areas, and plenty of beach accesses.  The town has a very active civic association which acts much like a parks and recreation department.  Southern Shores is known as the Town of Volunteers and many of the residents participate in maintenance and beautification projects. Even the Town Council members are unpaid.  A perfect place for a restful retreat, this seaside community welcomes families and friends alike.  A great coffee shop and several quaint restaurants keep you in the neighborhood and a nearby grocer can supply you with all your stay-home needs.  Close proximity to both the ocean and the sound provides grounds for relaxing strolls or vigorous swims, amazing sunrises and serene sunsets.  Let TheCoastalExplorer.com be your guide to your Southern Shores travel planning, we live here on the OBX, we know.
