a settlement, it grew from a developers desire to take a piece of property and turn a profit. In the late 70s with the boom in development of the Outer Banks in full swing, Southern Shores decided
it needed to protect the charm, tranquility and beauty of their community. They did this by incorporating themselves with the county and becoming the governing entity they are today. Southern Shores has a few locally owned shops and restaurants that are uniquely Southern Shores. There are plenty of opportunities outside of town limits to the north and south, if
that is what you are looking for.
