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 footprints, 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 bou- tiques, relaxing waterside cafés and interesting 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 2021 Visitor’s, Relocation 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. marinefederlhb.org • (800) 225-3967 8 WWW.SWANSBOROCHAMBER.ORG (910) 326.1174 WHERE IS SWANSBORO? Swansboro is conveniently located between Jacksonville, N.C., and Morehead City, N.C. It’s easy to reach by car, air, or boat. Modern and updated highways, such as N.C. 24, 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, N.C., and the Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (EWN) in New Bern, N.C. 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. 2021 VISITORS, RELOCATION & CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY 9 WHERE’S A GOOD PLACE TO... STAY?
