Celebrate GALentine’s Day in Southport & Oak Island, NC
GALentine’s Day—a day dedicated to celebrating the amazing women in our lives—is the perfect excuse for a girls' getaway or a fun-filled day with your besties. Whether you’re looking for relaxation, adventure, or indulgence, Southport and Oak Island have plenty of ways to make the day extra special. Here are some fabulous ideas to celebrate GALentine’s Day in this charming coastal area!
1. Brunch with the Besties
Kick off the day with a delicious brunch at one of the area’s cozy cafés or waterfront restaurants. Try the decadent Crabcake Benedict or Crunchy Buttercream French Toast at Ports of Call Bistro, or enjoy an oceanfront view along with local, fresh seafood options such as the Grilled Fish Tacos at Koko Cabana. Pro tip: Take a walk to the Southport Waterfront Park or stroll down the Oak Island Pier after brunch – otherwise you may fall victim to a great afternoon nap (which is a great option as well in our opinion!).
2. Pampering & Self-Care
Nothing says GALentine’s Day like a little self-care. Book a group spa day at Live Oak Med Spa for a rejuvenating facial or lash/brow service, or relax with an amazing therapeutic massage from Healing Waves Massage Therapy. Of course, you can never go wrong with a mani/pedi party at Gloss Nail Salon & Spa. You and your gals deserve to be treated like queens – just be sure to make reservations sooner than later!
3. Shopping & Boutique Hopping
Spend the afternoon exploring Southport’s charming boutiques and specialty shops. Find unique gifts, coastal décor, and stylish fashion at some of our favorite retail venues like Mermaid Cove Boutique, The Southport Market, Strands Outfitters, and Mad River (and that’s just the tip of the iceberg – we have tons of great shopping!). Don’t forget to pick up a little something for yourself and your best gals!
4. Wine Tasting & Cocktails
Raise a glass to your amazing friends at one of the area’s local spots. Visit Silver Coast Winery Tasting Room or in downtown Southport to sample delicious local wines, or hit up a wine tasting and enjoy homemade gelato at Haven at Southport (check their live music schedule!). If you prefer a more laid-back, beachside atmosphere, check out Lazy Turtle Bar & Grill on Oak Island.
5. Take a Fun Class Together
Bond over a creative or hands-on experience! Take a pottery or painting class at Franklin Square Gallery or Pescado Y Amor, or try a cooking workshop at a local culinary school. Learning something new together is always a memorable experience!
Make sure to take plenty of photos to remember the day! Stroll along the Southport waterfront or Oak Island beaches and snap some Insta-worthy shots of your Galentine’s crew. Bonus points for coordinating outfits or fun themed accessories! No matter how you choose to celebrate, Galentine’s Day in Southport and Oak Island is all about cherishing friendships and making unforgettable memories. So gather your favorite ladies and enjoy a fabulous day filled with love, laughter, and coastal charm!
