From waterfront activities to historical experiences, you will find something for everyone in Jacksonville, NC - halfway between Wilmington and New Bern. 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. 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.

Looking for your next night-out spot in Jacksonville? Consider this your sign to discover The Ransom Room. ✨πŸ₯‚

Tucked away on Court Street in Downtown Jacksonville, owners Sean and Gena have created a lounge that is all about reclaiming your time - slowing down, enjoying good company, and savoring the moment. With an intimate atmosphere, signature cocktails, flatbreads, small plates, and desserts, it’s the kind of place that makes an ordinary evening feel like an occasion.

Whether you're planning a date night, catching up with friends, or visiting Jacksonville and looking for somewhere to unwind after a day of exploring, grab a seat, order something delicious, and stay awhile. πŸ’™

Sometimes the best part of a trip is simply finding a great place to spend the evening.
