We took advantage of a great rate at the Newagen Inn, an old-fashioned resort at the tip of Southport Island. The inn is well-kept; our room was comfortable; the surroundings are beautiful. On a very hot day the pool was welcome, and down by the water there was shade and cool. The inn has an excellent dining room, where we ate very well, and the free breakfast was excellent. The drive down Southport is pretty.
