Top 5 Summer Activities in Swansboro, NC

The friendly city by the sea has everything from welcoming townsfolk to positive and empathetic shopkeepers.

They help contribute to Swansboro’s ratings as the 88th best place to raise a family out of all 505 North Carolina areas and the #1 spot in all of Onslow County.

However, Swansboro, NC, summertime activities aren’t too shabby either.

When our five-star Trademasters Heating & Cooling team isn’t busy securing our neighbors’ comfort, we’re taking advantage of what this small town offers.

Below are some activities we regularly partake in.

1. Hit the Sand and Surf at Hammocks Beach State Park

Everywhere you turn, white-sand, clear-water beaches line this coastal city, from Bear Island to Shark Tooth Island in the middle of Cape Fear River. However, the famous Hammocks Beach State Park, which spans 1,500 acres, is one of the largest in the area.

This unspoiled beach encompasses the Huggins, Dudley, and Jones islands along the White Oak River. Among them, try your hand at the hiking trails, picnic under the waterfront gazebo, or rent a kayak or canoe for gentle water adventures.

2. Traveling By Land with Mountain Bikes

You don’t have to pay to get a great view.

If you need free summer ideas and already own a bike, take it to one of many mountain biking trails across the town! Consider the 11-mile Emerald Path that stretches from Indian Beach to Bogue Inlet or the shorter Jacksonville-Camp LeJeune Rail-to-Trails that runs 6.3 miles along asphalt.

3. Take on the Seas with Boat Rentals or Tours

Another fun summer activity great for all ages is boat explorations.

Long-time residents who know the Swansboro area, alongside those looking to take their time with leisure activities like fishing, may rent boats from a trusted business like Pogie’s. Others may prefer guided tours with Lady Swan Boat Tours, where you simply sit back with a drink and watch the sunset.

4. Getting the Kiddies Into Summer Camps

If you need more than just a day out to impress and entertain the kiddies, sign them up for one of countless fun-in-the-sun summer camps. Follow affiliate links on Swansboro government pages based on the program that best suits you.

For instance, there are summer art and STEM camps alongside more traditional day camps that are open five days a week.

5. The Meals That Fuel Adventure Seekers

Who says a fun activity can’t include simply sitting at your favorite restaurant with savory food and good company?

Whether you’ve spent the day on the water or out on the town, refuel with lunch or dinner at The Boro Low Country Kitchen where you can dine on local seafood caught right off the pier served in a traditional southern style. There’s also The Boro serving coastal cuisines, pasta, steaks and more.

Master the Summer!

Although the small town only comprises 1.3 square miles of land and water, countless activities span Swansboro, NC.

Don’t forget to keep your itinerary updated and call Trademasters Heating & Cooling at (252) 503-2760 so you always return home to a cool climate!

David had previously come to temporarily fix my AC and was great! Today David and Joey came out to completely replace the HVAC system, they were both very kind and did an awesome job. I really appreciate the effort David took to keep my furniture/carpet/etc clean! Everything was covered with plastic sheeting and he even came in with a vacuum when they were finished up. Definitely would recommend!

David has been doing an amazing job as usual! Him, Joey, and there is one more guy that I feel so bad for forgetting his name, has been on point with providing stellar services, outstanding communication, and provide highly efficient materials/ product. They give you their best 1000% of the time and I am a client that is all about quality which I highly recommend this company. You will not be disappointed.

David was very nice and knowledgeable. After completing maintenance there were several recommendations which we felt were very reasonable. David came back out and got all the needed repairs done timely. The unit so far seems to be working better than it ever has. We joined the maintenance plan to keep our unit running smoothly. Highly recommend!

EDIT; Today David came to replace our A/C. Still showed the utmost respect while in our home as he did previously. Very careful to cover my carpet and flooring where they would be walking upstairs and kept us updated as he went along completing his work. As I stated last time, David was great.David at Trademasters did a great job finding the problem with our upstairs AC unit. Very efficient, friendly and explained things to us in detail. Will definitely call them if needed in the future.

This company is great! For starters they were able to schedule an appointment with me right away as oppose to being put on a waiting list not knowing when I’ll get a call back. They are very organized and the system they have in place is very efficient. Mr. David Higgins (our technician) upon arrival was able to quickly assess the situation with our unit and fix it promptly. Was able to send me an invoice right away and was able to pay over the phone with a credit card. They make it extremely easy to work with. Based on my experience with them today they have a long time customer now. Thank you guys.
