Hammocks Beach State Park

Name: Hammocks Beach State Park
Address: 1572 Hammocks Beach Rd., Swansboro, NC, 28584, US
Telephone: (910) 326-4881

Stroll the beach with laughing gulls and sandpipers. Cast a baited hook into endless rows of foaming breakers. Discover tiny specimens of marine life in tidal pools and mudflats. Use a camera or paintbrush to capture the green and gold grasses that color the salt marshes. Spend the night among the sand dunes, or simply bask in the sun and do nothing at all. While the park is on mainland and islands, the islands are only accessible by the park's passenger ferry or private ferry or by private canoe or kayak. Plus, the mainland has 3 miles of hiking trails.

Primitive camping with both indoor and outdoor showers and concession stand, plus swimming, boating and fishing. Visit the reservations website for handicap accessibility, water and hookup access, and other important camping information.

Bear Island is current closed due to much-needed infrastructure construction.
