Visit Jacksonville NC

Jacksonville NC (not Florida--we're the OTHER Jacksonville) is located on the North Carolina coast halfway between New Bern NC and Wilmington NC. Home to US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, this patriotic city on the New River invites visitors to receive a Hero's Welcome. Enjoy water sports, fishing and outdoor activities along the New River. Filled with hotels and restaurants, guests often base a trip here and explore Swansboro, North Topsail Beach, and Hammocks Beach State Park--just 30 minutes away. Be sure to save time to visit Lejeune Memorial Gardens, home to the second largest Vietnam Memorial in the USA with the names of all who gave the ultimate sacrifice etched in the glass surrounding the domed fountain. You'll also find the only national memorial to the first US Black Marines, the Montford Point Marines, and more.
