A Good Place to Lose Track of the Afternoon
Topsail Island, pronounced “top-sill,” gives you three beach communities to get to know along one stretch of North Carolina shoreline: North Topsail Beach, Surf City, and Topsail Beach. Set across Pender and Onslow counties, the island has the Atlantic Ocean on one side and tidal waterways on the other, making time on the water a big part of life here. Surf City offers shops, restaurants, and a fishing pier where you can cast a line or simply enjoy the view. Head south into Topsail Beach to explore local businesses and the Missiles and More Museum, which tells the story of the island’s unexpected role in Navy missile testing. Farther north, North Topsail Beach gives you more shoreline to explore and places to enjoy the scenery between the ocean and the sound. A day here might mean an early surf session, an afternoon out on the boat, or dinner followed by a walk on the sand. As you explore, consider what you’d like close to home and how you’ll spend your time throughout the year. Our team can help you compare all three communities, explore available homes, and look into homesites and local builder options if you’re planning to build.
