The Neighborhood:

Things To Do on Topsail Island: Topsail Island is a hidden gem along the North Carolina coast, known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and charming coastal communities like Surf City. This 28-mile-long barrier island is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, offering a unique landscape of marshes, estuaries, dunes, and sandy shorelines.



Whether you're looking to relax or explore, there's something for everyone. Spend your days sunbathing, swimming, surfing, fishing, or kayaking, then browse locally owned shops and enjoy fresh coastal cuisine at one of the island's many restaurants. Book a charter with a local fishing guide, cast a line or take in the views from one of the island's iconic fishing piers—including Seaview Fishing Pier, Surf City Ocean Pier, and Jolly Roger Pier—or simply unwind while listening to the waves along the shore.



For those interested in local history and wildlife, visit the Missiles and More Museum to learn about the island's fascinating past, explore the Touch Tank Aquarium in Surf City, or stop by the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation Center to meet the patients and learn about sea turtle conservation. From outdoor adventures to family-friendly attractions, Topsail Island offers the perfect blend of relaxation, natural beauty, and coastal charm.



Getting Around:

Parking may be limited during the summer months (public parking is available through Pivot Parking at an hourly rate). Surf City/ North Topsail Beaches are easily navigable once you're here. Our beach town is very accessible and family-friendly for vehicles, bikes, and golf carts. Renting bikes and golf carts is a breeze with the many rental companies on the island. Advanced reservations are recommended. Escape the hustle and bustle of the beaches of Surf City/ North Topsail Beach and explore the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue Center or take a scenic Tiki Tour through the Intracoastal Waterway.
