8 Fine Art Gallery is a chic little gallery that features a wealth of artworks from regional and local artists which pays homage to the coastal environment, or to its own little unique niche in the art world. The gallery is located just outside of the heart of historic Downtown Southport on Long Beach Road, and is located next to a collection of acclaimed restaurants and shops, and is surrounded by the historic downtown area. As a result, it’s a popular spot for visitors who are simply perusing the array of shops in the region, or who are taking advantage of Southport’s reputation as a prime destination for fresh artworks and vintage coastal décor.
A rotating collection of artists are featured, and the pieces are hung on plain white walls, with a short bio of each of the contributors to introduce newcomers to new talents. Featuring an array of artists who specialize in primitive works or abstracts, drawings from life, and unique sculptures that are created from discarded treasures, every art fan, regardless of pedigree, will find something to appreciate among the unique treasures. Because the pieces rotate on a regular basis, multiple visits are all but required to see what’s new at 8 Fine Art Gallery.

Visitors will find an easy-to-get-to beach paradise at Oak Island, an expansive but peaceful retreat that's located an easy drive away from Wilmington, Southport, and other inland North Carolina communities. Both the main town and the island itself share the name of "Oak Island," and while the town extends slightly inland, encompassing the Cape Fear Regional Jetport, the rest of the community is cut off from the world by the long Elizabeth River, and a network of salty creeks and canals. This watery gap may not be particularly wide, but visitors will feel the change as soon as they cross over the bridge. Once ashore, Oak Island is a picturesque landscape of charming vacation rental homes, cool seafood restaurants and shops, and miles of ocean shoreline.
The northernmost coastal region of Carolina Beach is home to the Freeman Park Recreation Area, a stretch of shoreline that is well known to adventurous, beach-loving 4WD truck owners. Unlike other stretches of the barrier islands off the coast of Wilmington, this park is special because it is completely undeveloped, and allows beach driving to off-roaders who like to cruise along the sand.
