Nestled in the confluent waters of the White Oak River and the Intracoastal Waterway, this beautiful waterfront city offers visitors an unhurried journey through time. It’s a place where graceful seagulls lazily float through blue sunkissed skies and gently lapping waves caress sandy shores as they’ve done since time began.

It’s a living part of America’s history with quaint little boutiques, relaxing waterside cafes, and interesting architecture. And, it’s a playground that abounds in boating, fishing, kayaking, golf, amusements, arts, and some of the finest unspoiled beaches in the county.

So take a trip through time. Experience the slower pace and aristocratic charm of early America, while surrounded by one of the most active and beautiful outdoor playgrounds in the Southeast. Come to Swansboro where the traditions of the past give life to the future.

Who knows? You may just make a little history of your own.
