Town of Swan Quarter, NC

The charming coastal village of Swan Quarter is located right on Swan Quarter Bay, an inlet off the Pamlico Sound and minutes from famous one-of-a-kind National Wildlife Refugees, such as Mattamuskeet and others. Among the many quaint, small, beautiful communities along North Carolina's Inner Banks coast, Swan Quarter (or Swanquarter) is said to be the quietest and maybe the friendliest. Take a moment to stroll along the village's well taken care of lanes, fields and farms, walk down to Swan Quarter harbor and you will discover that Swan Quarter is a real-old fashioned, maritime fishing village with shrimp and fishing boats, huge piles of oyster shells, and the ever inspiring smell of the ocean.

Fishing, oystering, crabbing and farming have long been the main occupations of the friendly people of Swan Quarter. Fishing is supplemented by farming the rich land around the town. Today the village sees many more visitors than in times past. Tourists pass through on their way to and from the Ocracoke-Swan Quarter ferry, located close by. Swan Quarter is a village where life is still the way it used to be, real, simple and at a slower pace.

The site is maintained by the Lemmes, who lived on Long Island in a small coastal town called Montauk, which reminded them very much on the charming, historic village of Swan Quarter and the precious Inner Banks before Montauk was discovered. Ingrid has hosted a TV show the American Dream Show www.AmericanDreamShow.com for 13 years, aired over the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Ingrid's husband is Sunny Lemme, who has a Masters Degree in Emergency Management and is a firefighter/EMT, fire officer and fire instructor. They have two adult sons: Thorsten, married to Simone and their son David, live in Germany and New York and is the President of Seven Stars and Stripes www.SevenStarsandStripes.com; and Nick, AKA Dom, who lives a half hour north of Swan Quarter in another charming coastal town, Columbia, NC. He married our daughter in law Neli at the 4H Conference Center in Columbia a couple of years ago. Dom is an excellent carpenter and he works his trade on the Inner and Outer Banks, and he loves fishing and hunting. He is in the process of renovating the Lemmes’ Victorian house in the village of Swan Quarter whenever he has time. The Lemmes love to ride their bikes, and since the ferry to Ocracoke Island is practically just around the corner, they like to spend some time over on the Outer Banks. They maintain the website because they love the charming town of Swan Quarter and its friendly people and would like to share its beauty with you. They post new photos in the gallery whenever they can. If you think something is missing, you would like to contribute photos or stories or something else, or you would like to place an ad, please send us an e-mail to ilemme@mac.com or simply visit
