It's conveniently located just over the bridge from Swansboro in the small town of Cedar Point (population 1,300). The market is set in a roomy little park-like space only steps from the water in any direction — and a cool salty breeze blowing in from the Atlantic.

Each week, vendors bring a wide array of items ranging from fresh vegetables to fruits and preserves.
