Whether your interests run to live local music, art showings and classes, a philharmonic orchestra, theatre, ballet, or lectures, you’ll be delighted by all that Moore County has to offer. We recommend you check out the Broadhurst Art Gallery, Union Station Railroad Museum, Mayfair Galleries, Malcolm Blue Historical Society, and the Sandhills Theater.

You have to try the steak at Beefeater’s, organic selections at 195 American Fusion, and the “Lobsta Fries” at Chapman’s. The list of Southern Pines’ “Best” fare is almost as diverse as it is delicious! We’ve adopted some New York style in our sandwiches thanks to Brooklyn Pickle, and proceed with caution if you visit Fresh Cuts Butcher & Seafood Market on an empty stomach. Is the vibe and fuel at great coffee houses what’s most dear to your heart? Southern Pines offers several options. If you're a true "foodie" at heart, you may also want to inquire about the local Foodie Tours located in Aberdeen, Southern Pines, and Pinehurst. 

Time for a new timepiece? In search of the season’s must-have clothing or accessories? Need a birthday present for that person who has everything? Southern Pines’ selection of shops, boutiques, jewelers, and specialty stores will astound you.

Southern Pines is rightfully proud of its biking and hiking trails, picture-perfect parks, playgrounds, lakes, and pools.  If you’re a tennis, pickleball, or hoops fanatic, we can show you the courts.   Of course, we are most known for golf, and there is no shortage of courses. In fact, 23 of the golf courses in the area were rated four-stars or better by Golf DigestAnd one of the benefits that residents at St. Joseph of the Pines can take advantage of are deep discounts to play some of those local courses.
