Visit Swansboro
We think great Italian food is reason enough to take a drive down to Swansboro. But if you’re planning a weekend on the Crystal Coast, the “Friendly City By The Sea” has so much more to offer. Our hometown offers history, culture, scenic beauty, and a range of activities to enjoy.
Dining
The Boro Restaurant & Bar
The Boro Restaurant & Bar is just steps from the White Oak River in Swansboro’s historic downtown. They offer an eclectic menu with plenty of locally sourced seafood option and a full-service bar. On Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, they also have live music on their open-air front patio.
The Boro Low Country Kitchen
You can’t visit Swansboro with trying the seafood. The Boro Low Country Kitchen specializes in seafood boils, a coastal Carolina tradition. Take a seat and enjoy the views of the White Oak River, or call ahead to take your boil out for a day at the beach or on the boat.
Recreation
Pogie’s Fishing and Kayaking
Pogie’s Fishing and Kayaking Center offers kayak rentals and sales, eco tours, fishing charters, and island taxis.
Hammock’s Beach State Park
Hammock’s Beach State Park is located just a few minutes from downtown Swansboro. It offers a little of nearly everything for which the Crystal Coast is famous: hikinig, fishing, camping, paddling, swimming, and, of course, beaches.
