Tothe west side of Cedar Point is the woofderful City of Swansboro. Take a short drive across the bridge to head into the W Broad Street neighborhood. From here, wag to the wooftastic Bicentennial Park which features beautiful water views and benches from which to enjoy them! There's also a statue of Captain Otoway Burns at the center, and a boardwalk to further enjoy the White Oak River and Swansboro Harbor. If you don't want to leave the scenic views, but are in dire need of yummy food, then why not enjoy both at the Ice House Waterfront Restaurant! Doggoes are welcome on the front porch tables, but make sure to snatch a seat early before they fill up. The menu includes fresh seafood, spring rolls, flatbread, and more!

With the beach being so close to Cedar Point, it would be a crime not to go with Fido! Head to the Emerald Isle Mid-City neighborhood in Emerald Isle to enjoy a day soaking up the sun on the beach. Emerald Isle's Beach is dog-friendly year-round, but pets must remain on-leash at all times, even while wagging in the water or in the surf zone. Next, enjoy the sound views over at the Emerald Isle Wood Park Trail! There are several hiking paths to follow in this beautiful and quiet park. There are doggie poop stations and clean restrooms for owners to ensure comfort and convenience for both people and their furry companions.
