not-for-profit 501 (c) (6) organization owned and operated by busi-
ness leaders who care about the Swansboro area. The Chamber’s
mission is to promote business growth, to serve members with
professional development opportunities and to affect public policy
decisions to the benefit of the Swansboro area business community.
The Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerce is made up of ap-

driven business organization.
Located at the corner of Church and Water streets in historic,
downtown Swansboro, the Chamber’s office also serves as the

part of the financial equation in the “Friendly City By the Sea,” the
Chamber works closely with the Swansboro Tourism Development
Authority and Onslow County Tourism to promote the area’s coastal
communities.

Visiting
the Area
Nestled along the confluent waters of the White Oak River
and the Intracoastal Waterway, the Swansboro area is a
beautiful and quaint waterfront community that offers visitors
an unhurried journey through time. Stand on these ancient
shores where Native American civilizations once thrived and
prospered. Walk along paths where patriots and pirates alike
laid down footprints. Run on the sands of one of the country’s
most beautiful natural seashores and leave your own foot-
prints, but make way for the sea turtles! After all, they were
here first, and have been nesting on the local beaches for
centuries.
Experience the slower pace and aristocratic southern
charm of early America while surrounded by one of the most
active and beautiful outdoor playgrounds in the Southeast.
The Swansboro area is a living part of America’s history with
quaint little boutiques, relaxing waterside cafés and interest-
ing architecture. It’s also home to a variety of outdoor fun
for kids of all ages that includes boating, fishing, kayaking,
golf, amusements, the arts, and some of the finest unspoiled
beaches in the country.
So plan your trip to the Swansboro area today! And don’t
forget to take along this handy SACC’s 2019 Visitor’s, Reloca-
tion and Membership Guide for helpful tips along the way.
Come…enjoy some Southern Hospitality with a coastal flair.
Who knows? You may just make a little history of your own.

Where is
Swansboro?
Swansboro is conveniently located
between Jacksonville, NC, and Morehead
City, NC. It’s easy to reach by car, air, or boat.
Modern and updated highways (NC 24, NC 58, US 70, I 40)
breeze you quickly to the coast. If you are traveling by air, two
regional airports serve our community: The newly
renovated Albert J. Ellis Airport (OAJ) in Richlands,
NC, and the Coastal Carolina Regional Airport
(EWN) in New Bern, NC. These airports provide
regularly scheduled flights to and from the rest of
the world.
If you are boating your way to the area,
remember that the White Oak River and the
Intracoastal Waterway flow right past Swansboro.
Transient boaters are always welcome from
around the world for day trips, overnight stays
and longer visits. Public docks are available, as
well as convenient area marinas, offering boating
supplies and provisions.

A license is required to fish at the coast. Children under
16 are exempt from a license. The license is available from
the Division of Marine Fisheries offices, Wildlife Resources
Commission, licensed agents such as bait and tackle shops,
ncwildlife.org or (888) 248-6834. Individuals do not need a

little...make sure you know the current size and creel limits.

There’s something for everyone! If you love the water, splash on
over to Hammocks Beach State Park and the beaches of Emerald
Isle for swimming, camping, kayaking, fishing, and shell collecting.
Boaters, whether they like to fish or not, will love cruisin’ up and
down the Intracoastal Waterway.
Land lovers can bike, hike, bowl, golf, play tennis, and enjoy yoga
on the beach. History buffs can soak up the area’s maritime
history while visiting local historical attractions.
And just look up…now you’re bird watching. Coastal birds
are everywhere!
Plus…if you like to shop until you drop…you’ve come to the
right place! Shopping is considered a sport, isn’t it?
But if your idea of a good time is a great beach read and a long
nap in the afternoon sun, don’t worry, we won’t tell a soul.
Here are just a few of the many things to do and places to go
that are within easy driving distance from the Swansboro area:

county, sporting a landscape of sandy beaches, thick forests, beautiful
rivers and historic farmlands.
Towns in Onslow County
include Swansboro, North
Topsail Beach, Holly Ridge,
Richlands, portions of Surf
City, and Jacksonville. The
county is also the home of the
United States Marine Corps’
largest amphibious train-
ing facility, Camp Lejeune.
The county’s population
(186,000+) is dispersed throughout its 762 square mile radius, making
it one of the largest counties along the North Carolina coast.
Jacksonville is the county’s largest city (approximately 74,000). Travel
Hwy 24 East from Jacksonville and in less than a half hour you will be in
the county’s oldest and largest coastal town...Swansboro.
Onslow County’s economy is largely driven by its military presence
and supported strongly by both the tourism and healthcare industries.
Swansboro’s historic district is one of the county’s favorite attractions,
offering a variety of shops and restaurants along a picturesque water-
front where the White Oak River joins the Intracoastal Waterway.
Outdoor activities abound in On-
slow County. Kayakers and boaters
can enjoy exploring the White Oak
River, the New River, the Intracoastal
Waterway and inlets along the North
Carolina coast. Freshwater and
saltwater fishing, boating, hunting,
hiking, and camping are all popular
in this coastal county and cyclists
have a variety of scenic routes to pick
from throughout the county.
For some fun in the sun, try North
Topsail Beach (located at the northern end of Topsail Island), Onslow
Beach (aboard Camp Lejeune), and Hammocks Beach State Park in
Swansboro.
Throughout the county, sports enthusiasts will find organized sports
programs for all ages. Soccer is extremely popular along the coast.

Soccer Association Complex on Hammocks Beach Road, provide
excellent venues for regional soccer tournaments.

Once the site of an
Algonkian Indian village,
Swansboro officially began
its maritime history in the
mid 1700s, when a promi-
nent landowner, Theophilus
Weeks, divided a portion of
his coastal plantation into
48 lots with 6 streets, and
the colonial port town was
born. But it wasn’t until
1783 that the town was offi-
cially incorporated as Swannsborough, named in honor
of North Carolina House of Commons Speaker Samuel
Swann.
The spelling of the name has changed, but the quiet
town, snuggly tucked along the North Carolina coast
where the White Oak River meets the Intracoastal Wa-
terway, is still steeped in
charm and southern hos-
pitality. From its quaint
historic waterfront to its
pristine undeveloped
beaches, the Swansboro
area offers a relaxing yet
exciting destination to
explore.
Strolling through the
streets of the historic downtown waterfront, visitors
can envision life as it once was for the port community.
Many historic homes and buildings are well preserved
and carry national historic designations. Tall shrimp
boats mark the
horizon, bringing
to mind the town’s
early heritage of
ship building and
commercial fishing.
Fast forward
to present day
and most would
agree the pace in
Swansboro hasn’t
changed much at
all. Relaxed, coastal

Bear Island is great for shell collecting! Then, try a seaside adventure…or two. Take your pick from fishing, boating, paddle boarding, surfing, kayak- ing, camping, hunting, hiking, and biking (just to name a few!) Because of its convenient location and intriguing maritime history, Swansboro is a popular destination for transient boaters. The town currently offers three docking facilities in the historic downtown area, including the Moore Street Dock, Main Street Dock and the newly construct- ed Church Street Dock, designed to give overnight boaters with boats measuring 26 feet or larger easy access to the downtown area. Two local marinas (Casper’s Marina and Dudley’s Marina) are also conveniently located in downtown Swansboro. Across the Intracoastal Waterway outdoor enthusi- asts will love Hammocks Beach State Park, Swansboro’s coastal treasure. The park is home to Bear Island, an undeveloped barrier island that can only be reached by ferry or private boat. This largely undisturbed setting is popular with day trippers, boaters, kayakers, and camp- ers. And it’s a great family outing, too! The Seaside Arts Council’s Summer Concerts Series (SwanFest) is certainly an experience that you don’t 2019 Visitors, Relocation & Chamber Membership Directory 29

Swansboro.recdesk.comHammocks Beach State Park Venture to Bear Island and reward yourself with vivid memories of one of the most unspoiled beaches on the Atlantic Coast. Accessible only by passenger ferry or private boat, there’s just one thing at Hammocks Beach that’s crowded, the list of things to do. Stroll the beach with laughing gulls and sandpipers. Cast a baited hook into endless rows of foaming breakers. Discover tiny specimens of marine life in tidal pools and mudflats. Use a camera or paintbrush to capture the green and gold grasses that color the salt marshes. Spend the night among the sand dunes, or simply bask in the sun and do nothing at all. Primitive campsites are located near the beach and the inlet. Fourteen family campsites accommodate six people each. Two group campsites, available to affiliated groups only, accommodate a total of 36 people. Light and simple is the way to travel as campers must carry all provisions to the campsites from the beach or ferry dock. Water and other facilities are available on the island, except from mid-November through mid-March when the facilities
are winterized. Fires are not
permitted, and campers must
remove all trash. Camping is
permitted on numbered sites
only and permits must be
obtained from the park office
on the mainland. Reservations
are required for group sites.
Campsites are open year round.
Secluded and tranquil, free from intruding commercialism,
Hammocks Beach may not be for everyone, but the island is a
retreat for people who welcome the challenges of sun, sand,
sea and sky.

Coast. First things
first…kick back…relax! Then, pick from biking, surfing,
hiking, swimming, golfing, fishing, boating, water skiing,
kayaking, shell collecting, shopping and dining….or just
hanging out at the beach with a good book and a smile.
