Discover Sneads Ferry

A Community Rich in Maritime History and Coastal Charm.

Long known as the "Shrimp Capital of the East Coast," this historic fishing village is rapidly becoming a sought-after residential community for those who cherish authentic coastal living. Offering direct access to the New River and the Intracoastal Waterway, and just minutes from the quiet beaches of North Topsail, Sneads Ferry is a paradise for boaters, anglers, and military families looking for a home close to Camp Lejeune.

The Sneads Ferry Lifestyle & Amenities

The heart and soul of Sneads Ferry is its working waterfront. Local marinas and shrimp boats line the river, offering the freshest seafood imaginable at local markets and restaurants. This is a boater’s paradise, with easy navigation to the ICW and the Atlantic for serious offshore fishing. The community is home to the annual Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival, a beloved tradition that celebrates the town's heritage. Its location provides a convenient "back gate" entrance to Camp Lejeune and is just over the bridge from North Topsail Beach.
