Onslow County covers a lot of area and many small towns—they just seem to run into each other and it is difficult, sometimes, to know where one stops and another begins.  Each one is unique and has its own appeal with different things to offer those moving to the area.  You just have to decide what “fits” you and your family best.

Swansboro, N C is a quaint, historic town located on the White Oak River between Atlantic Beach and Topsail Beach.  It is known as “The Friendly City By the Sea” and once you have visited there, met and talked with the residents, you will understand why the nickname.  There are unique  waterfront boutiques, shops and restaurants whose owners welcome visitors with open arms and hearts displaying true Southern hospitality. 

There is much rich history of shipbuilding and commercial fishing industry.  Swansboro has continued to grow developing a prosperous tourist business along with the fishing industry.

Through all the growth,the town has worked very hard to maintain the quaint, fishing village image which residents and tourist alike find so intriguing. 

The residential development in Swansboro has bloomed like a spring flower with beautiful waterfront communities as well as those away from the water.  Living in Swansboro is convenient to many other locations such as Camp LeJeune and Cherry Point Marine bases.  It is an ideal location for those who seek small town living by the water, water activities and those who appreciate mild winters.

Be sure to check back---the next town I will feature is Hubert, N C, Swansboro’s neighbor and best kept secret residential location in Onslow County.
