Take a Nicholas Sparks Tour of the North Carolina Coast

It’s easy to enjoy the real-life settings that inspire his bestselling novels, from charming coastal towns to quiet beaches and tidal rivers.

You can't beat curling up with a book from North Carolina author Nicholas Sparks  – except if you're doing it in one of his coastal settings.

It’s easy to see why Sparks loves living in – and writing about – North Carolina. It’s also easy to enjoy the real-life settings that inspire his bestselling novels with this four-day trip that explores charming historic towns, quiet beaches, tidal rivers and pretty marshes.

Day 1: Edenton

Known as the “South’s Prettiest Small Town,” historic Edenton is situated on the Chowan River and Albemarle Sound, a picture-perfect setting for The Rescue . The novel is one of Sparks’ more personal stories and was inspired by his son Ryan.

The novel’s main character has a family home on the Chowan River, which is easy to envision as you cross the bridge into town. Two of the novel’s characters are volunteers with the Edenton Volunteer Fire Department. See the town library and Episcopal Church that play “roles” in the book on a guided walking or trolley tour .

Other Edenton highlights include: Historic Edenton State Historic Site; the 1767 Chowan County Courthouse; the 250-year-old Cupola House; 1886 Roanoke River Lighthouse; a Maritime Underground Railroad Site; and much more.

Day 2: Williamston, Washington & New Bern

Williamston is located right on the Roanoke River and features many historic buildings, a revitalized downtown and the Senator Bob Martin Eastern Agricultural Center , which holds many equestrian events and more.

Historic Washington was founded in 1776 and was the first city in America to be named for George Washington. Situated on the Pamlico River, Washington’s downtown offers lots of shops and restaurants, the Pamlico River Promenade, and the North Carolina Estuarium , with many hands-on exhibits highlighting the Pamlico-Tar River region.

New Bern on the Neuse River is next, and it’s best to plan to stay awhile. Author Nicholas Sparks certainly did – the town has been his home for many years.

The staff at New Bern’s friendly Convention & Visitors Center is happy to share the self-guided A  Walk to Remember walking tour with fans of the writer’s popular books and numerous resulting movies. The tour also provides a way to see many of the city’s sights.

New Bern specifically plays a role in three Sparks novels: A Bend in the Road , The Wedding and The Notebook . Highlights of the walking tour include Union Point Park and the docks behind the waterfront DoubleTree by Hilton (both featured in A Bend in the Road ), the Alfred Cunningham Bridge leading into town (in The Notebook ), the Masonic Theatre and Centenary Methodist Church (both in The Notebook ), and the historic Cedar Grove Cemetery (mentioned as part of a funeral procession in A Bend in the Road ).

Along with taking one of the walking tours, many visitors to New Bern start with Tryon Palace , which served as the North Carolina government when New Bern was the state capital in the late 1700s and was mentioned in A Bend in the Road and The Wedding .

A visit to Tryon Palace starts at the adjacent North Carolina History Center , where the soaring Cannon Gateway provides orientation exhibits and the rest of the museum features rotating coverage and interactive historical activities. The Tryon Palace Museum Store features many items representative of North Carolina history, including decorative pieces for the home and garden, collectibles, porcelain and many books.

Another interesting part of New Bern’s history can be found just up Middle Street at the Birthplace of Pepsi . Here, at his pharmacy, Caleb Bradham invented “Brad’s Drink,” which he later patented as Pepsi-Cola. Today, thirsty visitors can enjoy a sample and buy souvenirs at the recreated soda fountain.

Throughout town, creatively painted bear sculptures are easy to spot. New Bern was named for Bern, Switzerland, and a bear serves as the town symbol and mascot.

Day 3: Ocracoke

Ocracoke , one of the southernmost islands of the Outer Banks, can only be reached by water or air and is the location of Sparks’ most recent novel, The Wish . Hop on the early morning ferry from Cedar Island to visit the remote island where 16-year-old Maggie was sent to live with her aunt for a summer. Make sure your camera is ready as you explore – Maggie was introduced to photography in Ocracoke, and the passion turned into a career as a travel photographer. With the abundance of opportunities for stunning photos, it’s clear why.

Walk around the village, where you’ll find shopping, restaurants and coffee shops, and entertainment. Then head to Ocracoke Lighthouse – the second oldest operating lighthouse in the country – and Springer’s Point for tranquility (with a side of pirate history ) in a maritime forest. And you have to meet the Banker Ponies , descendants of Spanish mustangs that were shipwrecked hundreds of years ago, at their 188-acre pen.

If you’re staying overnight here, grab takeout and pick a spot along the 16 miles of secluded beach to enjoy a picnic underneath the stars.

Day 4: Swansboro, Wilmington & Southport

Swansboro is next. The “Friendly City by the Sea” sits at the confluence of the White Oak River and the Intracoastal Waterway (including a scenic walkway). Just a few blocks in size and featured in The Guardian , Swansboro’s historic district includes quaint shops, many historic houses and buildings, and popular restaurants.

To finish the trip, the riverfront towns of Wilmington and Southport  provided yet another North Carolina setting for a Nicholas Sparks novel and resulting film (the eighth Sparks book to hit the silver screen). Safe Haven – the romantic thriller starring Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough – debuted on Valentine’s Day 2013 after being filmed exclusively in Southport and Wilmington.

It’s easy to connect with both towns as seen in the film. In Wilmington – often referred to as “Wilmywood” and “Hollywood East” because of all the film work done here – the characters strolled by the Wilmington Convention Center and the Carolina Apartments on Market Street during a visit. Down at Fort Fisher State Recreation Area , the fictional couple enjoyed a romantic kiss on the wide and deserted beach.

The possibilities in and around Southport include: the ferry between Fort Fisher, across the Cape Fear River, to Southport; Southport’s old-timey city blocks where the dramatic Fourth of July scenes were filmed; Ports of Call restaurant, where a romantic dinner was shot and actor Josh Duhamel learned to shuck an oyster; and American Fish Co. restaurant, where the character Katie (Julianne Hough) worked as a waitress.

Along with their fictional roles, the cast and crew also took advantage of other area offerings during filming, including: Julianne Hough’s 23rd birthday celebration at Ports of Call; popular Fishy Fishy Cafe , a favorite with Sparks and the cast and crew; a guided paddling trip with Adventure Kayak Company ; and tee times, dining and libations at Oak Island Golf Club .

Duhamel, often accompanied by then-wife Fergie of Black Eyed Peas fame, stayed on Oak Island and continues to publicly rave about his time on the island and in Southport.

End your vacay with a visit to an enchanting mailbox on Bird Island. Kindred Spirit Mailbox , the inspiration behind  Every Breath,  sits a half-hour walk from the nearest public access point, nestled between sand dunes. Grab a notebook from the mailbox, take a seat on one of the benches and pen your innermost thoughts, dreams and prayers as you reflect on a perfect trip.

About the Author:

Nicholas Sparks  is the author of twenty-three books, all of which have been  New York Times  bestsellers. His books have been published across more than fifty languages with over 150 million copies sold worldwide, and eleven have been adapted into films. He is also the founder of the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, a nonprofit committed to improving cultural and international understanding through global education experiences. He lives in North Carolina.

About the Book:

From the #1  New York Times  bestselling author of  The Wish  comes a poignant love story about risking everything for a dream—and whether it’s possible to leave the past behind.

Colby Mills once felt destined for a musical career, until tragedy grounded his aspirations. Now the head of a small family farm in North Carolina, he spontaneously takes a gig playing at a bar in St. Pete Beach, Florida, seeking a rare break from his duties at home.

But when he meets Morgan Lee, his world is turned upside-down, making him wonder if the responsibilities he has shouldered need dictate his life forever. The daughter of affluent Chicago doctors, Morgan has graduated from a prestigious college music program with the ambition to move to Nashville and become a star. Romantically and musically, she and Colby complete each other in a way that neither has ever known.

While they are falling headlong in love, Beverly is on a heart-pounding journey of another kind. Fleeing an abusive husband with her six-year-old son, she is trying to piece together a life for them in a small town far off the beaten track. With money running out and danger seemingly around every corner, she makes a desperate decision that will rewrite everything she knows to be true.

In the course of a single unforgettable week, two young people will navigate the exhilarating heights and heartbreak of first love. Hundreds of miles away, Beverly will put her love for her young son to the test. And fate will draw all three people together in a web of life-altering connections . . . forcing each to wonder whether the dream of a better life can ever survive the weight of the past.

Take a Nicholas Sparks Tour of North Carolina's Brunswick Islands

Nicholas Sparks has made a name for North Carolina as a place to fall in love. Whether it's with a significant other, or one of his novels or films, you are destined for romance in the Brunswick Islands . Come to discover the inspiration behind Nicholas Sparks' masterpieces.

Sparks has stated that setting is a major aspect of his work, both in terms of natural and cultural environments and atmosphere. Every novel he has written since The Notebook has been set in North Carolina. He has claimed that this charming southern state is the inspiration behind his passionate novels.

Named one of USA Today’s “Top 20 Books of the Fall,” Sparks’ latest novel,  Every Breath , set in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, explores the whirlwind love story between North Carolinian, Hope Anderson and Zimbabwean safari guide, Tru Walls, through the decades, continents and fate that follow a chance meeting at Sunset Beach.

Every Breath was inspired by Sparks' fascination with a Brunswick Islands' hidden treasure, the Kindred Spirit Mailbox . Sparks, like many others, visited Sunset Beach seeking inspiration from this local landmark. Located near the dunes on Bird Island , about a mile from the nearest public beach access point, lies the Kindred Spirit Mailbox. Planted by a Sunset Beach couple over 30 years ago, the mailbox, filled with journals and pens, encourages thousands of visitors each year to share their story with the universe. Readers of his new novel will come to find that this peculiar mailbox is at the center of the story line in Every Breath .

Sparks fanatics can enjoy a Safe Haven of their own by taking a Walk to Remember to the Kindred Spirit Mailbox and other iconic landmarks in the Brunswick Islands that were made famous by Sparks’ work.

Check out our list of some of the can’t miss stops on the Nicholas Sparks Tour of the Brunswick Islands:

Brunswick Islands, North Carolina:

With 45+ miles of pristine beaches and charming coastal communities it is easy to see why a few of Sparks' novels have been set and/or filmed in the Brunswick Islands. Sunset Beach, Southport, Oak Island and Caswell Beach have served as the backdrop for Every Breath (2018), Safe Haven (2010), A Walk To Remember  (1999) and The Longest Ride (2013).

Sunset Beach, Brunswick Islands :  Featured in Every Breath .

• Send a message at the Kindred Spirit Mailbox, the central location in the novel and the destination that Nicholas Sparks’ character in the novel finds the manila envelope detailing the “The Most Amazing Story Ever” of Tru Wallace and Hope Anderson’s romance.
• Visit the charming town of Sunset Beach where Hope Anderson goes to spend time at her family’s cottage.

Southport, Brunswick Islands :  Featured in the film adaptation of A Walk To Remember and in the novel and film adaptation of Safe Haven.

Featured in A Walk to Remember :

• Stop by the beautiful church where Jamie Sullivan’s dad was a pastor.
• Stargaze at the Old Smithville Burying Ground where Landon Carter named a star after Jamie.
• Watch the sunset over the water at the Riverwalk Gazebo where Jamie and Landon shared a kiss.

Featured in Safe Haven :

• Have a drink on the dock at Old American Fish Co restaurant, which transformed into Ivan’s Fish Shack where Katie Feldman worked as a waitress.
