The
Southern Pines area, also called the sandhills, is probably best known for
golf and
horse racing. The area is also becoming famous for its
pottery. It does not feel densely populated, partly because of the
many golf courses. Many fine bed and
breakfast inns are sprinkled throughout the area. Downtown Southern Pines is a Mecca for shopping and
dining. Nearby Pinehurst Village is smaller and quite upscale.
The historic district of Aberdeen is also small, close by, and has some
nice features. Sanford is a little drive north. Even if you don't golf or like horse racing, you will probably enjoy exploring this area. |

Why
shop online?
Prices
and selection
are often better
from these Web
sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many
of them offer
free packing and
shipping to
your
door or to your
gift recipient. So,
you can save
time, gas, and
money. Merchant
sites must
meet high security
standards to
advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.
|
Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
