Southern Pines is widely known for a flourishing equestrian community, laid-back rhythm and quaint atmosphere. An afternoon of leisure that includes lunch in sidewalk café and visit to the Country Bookshop will convince you to stay into the evening to enjoy a cold beverage and some live music at one of the many pubs that add to the charm of Southern Pines. Boutique shopping, an ice cream cone and a visit to one of several art galleries and frame shops, will call you back time and again.
