Hammocks Beach State Park is made of three different areas. The 30-acre Mainland, Bear Island a 980 acre unspoiled barrier island, and Huggins Island, a 211 acre maritime island located at the mouth of the White Oak River in Bogue Inlet. Huggins Islands thick, overgrown maritime forest is a stark contrast to Bear Islands wide-open, windswept sand dunes. Huggins Island is well known for its rich natural history, but along with its varied flora and fauna, Huggins Island and its Civil War-era Battery has played an important role in the history of Swansboro and the State of North Carolina.
