Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Swansboro?

Accepted Answer

With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn't be half as easy to soak up everything that Wilmington Historic District, 55 miles away, has to offer. Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts should be at the top of your to-do list here. Children's Museum of Wilmington and Wilmington Railroad Museum are must-see attractions too. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Surf City, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it's Surf City Pier. (But we'd also recommend Ohana Paddle Sports and Mia's Marketplace.)
