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 coun- try’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 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 2018 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. 8 WWW.SWANSBOROCHAMBER.ORG (910) 326.1174 swansboro-ad.indd 1 9/28/17 12:30 PM WHERE IS SWANSBORO?
