Southport-Oak Island North Carolina Area Chamber of Commerce & Welcome Center. We invite you to visit our North Carolina beaches, tucked away on the southeastern coast of the Brunswick Islands, offering both the vacationer, resident and investor a pleasant coastal experience. Our community is comprised of six municipalities -- the towns of Caswell Beach, Oak Island (Long Beach and Yaupon Beach) and the Village of Bald Head Island combine for over 28 miles of sandy beaches and some of the most visible lighthouses in North Carolina. For over 200 years the historic coastal community of Southport has guarded the mouth of the Cape Fear River and continues to be the lightkeeper of its history. Boiling Spring Lakes, one of the fastest growing cities in our area, takes its name from the over 50 bubbling spring lakes. James lies along the Intracoastal Waterway and marsh land.

🇺🇸 Remembering. Honoring. Giving Back. 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the first responders, service members, families, and countless others whose lives were forever changed.

On this solemn day of remembrance, Back Home Butcher is giving back by hosting a Silent Auction benefiting the 9/11 Foundation. We invite you to stop in, participate, and help support this meaningful cause.

Today also marks a special milestone for this local business—Back Home Butcher is celebrating one year in business.

As you stop by to show your support, you can enjoy complimentary samples from several of their vendors and see what else they have planned in recognition of their first anniversary.

Please join us in supporting Back Home Butcher, congratulating them on their first year, and—above all—taking time today to remember and honor those we lost and those who served.

🇺🇸 We will never forget.

The Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony on September 2, 2026, to celebrate Needful Things & Moody Bean Book Café, located at 114 E. Nash Street in Southport.

Owners Amanda Lake and Tori Howard previously operated in separate locations, but when the space at 114 E. Nash Street became available, they joined forces to create a welcoming destination that combines books, gifts, coffee and community.

Needful Things is a cozy, locally owned independent bookstore featuring best sellers, works by local authors and a unique selection of gifts. The shop also regularly hosts book signings, giving customers an opportunity to meet authors and discover new titles.

Moody Bean Book Café brings its own flavor to the partnership, serving up big taste in a small, inviting shop. Together, Needful Things & Moody Bean Book Café offer visitors a comfortable place to browse, shop, enjoy a beverage and spend time in the heart of downtown Southport.

The Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce congratulates Amanda and Tori on their new location and partnership and wishes them continued success as they serve residents and visitors alike.

Needful Things & Moody Bean Book Café is located at 114 E. Nash Street, Southport, N.C.
